Solar Craft Flies Through Two Nights

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the nasa-awash-with-envy dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A solar-powered, unmanned craft has flown for 54 hours — a record for both unmanned aerial vehicles and solar craft. None before has managed to store enough solar energy to fly through more than one night. There is also a video showing the 18m carbon fiber wing craft being launched."
