Endurance solar flight

Premier essai de vol d'endurance avec notre planeur solaire: 258km en 6:50 h.

I like it. What is their weight, thickness, and what exactly were you doing with the iron? Perhaps a build video?

Felicitaciones jóvenes, una consulta cual fue el recorrido que realizaron con el drone con energía solar 258 0 que no entiendo..saludos desde Manta Ecuador

I'm making my own solar powered plane as a project. would be nice to have your specs

[DrPraTudo]

Congratulations !!! Perfect JOB !!! I am form Brazil and a pilot too !!

[AvrApollo]

where did you get the solar panels for the project?

[Mohan-vyjw]

Very impressive can you make for me what is the cost ?

[viuvenitlalumina]

is 20 solar panels enough to fly one individual ?

[elojim]

Superbe, Bravo ! Magnifiques vues du site du Castelmaurou Modélisme Club !

Great job! I really like this kind of work. I think that the future of fixed wing aircraft is solar airplane. If you don't mind I have questions to ask you. Q1. how much power does it consume when it is cruising? Q2. what kind of prop do you use?

Have you tried ardupilot autonomous soaring mode? On a hot day with thermals you could just go forever

[trystenfrazier]

What's the name of the background music?

Amazing work. Can I contact you? I am an engineering student in the renewable energy department. I hope to make my graduation project like this

[Mohitladda]

Great work team... I'm also working on solar powered rc airplane but don't know how to properly connect load, battery and solar panel.Can u show me the circuit diagram how you guys connected these parts?

Bonjour monsieur, je tiens à vous féliciter pour votre projet, en fait on est un groupe d'étudiant de Toulouse on a comme projet extra scolaire de construire un drone solaire, du coup on a quelques questions si vous permettez, comment peut on vous rejoindre si c'est possible? merci

VERY cool! What was it that limited your flight to 6:50 hours? Also, an idea: perhaps a Bi-plane glider is a good idea in order to increase your surface area to install more solar panels?

OR--- a flying wing? Certainly, the flying wing wins for maximum surface area for panels.

I believe this technology will improve, perhaps enough to have a pilot occupying the craft, and without batteries, or a very small emergency battery pack in case of reduced sunlight.

OR-- It could be the future to have a battery powered craft with solar panels to increase range.

Still, the very ultimate would be battery-less, fully capable solar powered craft, capable of incredibly long range as long as there is sunlight.

"limited knowledge"? I'd say more like "smarter than the average bear". Well done!

Bravo messieurs quel exploit bravo a vous deux

[khadijakhlil]

Magnifique ! pouvez vous nous dire le temps de vol ? 258km en combien de temps svp, merci et bonne continuation.

[adbas]

Dommage de ne plus voir de nouvelles vidéos. Très intéressantes !

[bryannacata]

Could you share plans of the aircraft?

[franciscourena]

Great - outstanding job
Why not adding an additional backup
Battery in events the cloud and/or the rain is on the way
