First complete night flight is programmed for 2010 and finds in Switzerland to take. We summarized unbelievable 13 solar airplanes (per kind, concept) in this contribution. These airplanes of a daily go revolutionizing the aircraft industry.

   

     

Helios is a solar airplane of NASA, those for the scientific research. Helios is a solar UAV at full speed from 27 mph and span of 247 foot. The span is broader than 747 jumbo jet. It has 62,000 solar cells and 14 brushless direct current motors. Before the loss in a in-Flight-misfortune in June 2003 has of Helios the prototype of a world elevator record for propeller-driven aircraft of nearly 97,000 meters.Helios is a solar airplane of NASA, those for the scientific research.

The Centurion is an easy, a solar, a remote pilot flies airplane that the technology of the use of solar energy demonstrates high-altitude flight for long duration. It is considered as a prototype technology demonstrator for a future fleet of solar airplane, that to air remains for weeks or months on scientific Probenahme-und Imaging missions could or during its time as telecommunications Relay platforms.

   

     Although the Centurion of a span of 206 meters, more than the double 98-Fuß span of the original Pathfinder has many of the Design concepts of the Pathfinder share and 70 per cent " longer than the Pathfinder pluses; 121-Fuß span. Makes simultaneous Centurion of the 8-Fuß-Akkord (from the front to the rear air line) of the Pathfinder wings, whereby the wings an aspect ratio (length chord) from 26 to 1.

  

     

Zephyr, together with solar energy, too low used " Dragee Aerodynamik" for month fly at a value of 132.000 foot. It is still large height of communication platform equipped with a 12-Meter-Solarzellen span at the current volume 1 KW of achievement to five engines, which pull it, around 70 meters per second (155 mph).

   

       

The Pathfinder is an easy, a solar, a remote pilot flies airplane that the technology of the use of solar energy demonstrates high-altitude flight for long duration. It is literally the pioneers for a future fleet of solar airplane, which remains for air for weeks or months could on scientific Probenahme-und Imaging missions. Solar arrays for most the upper wing surface supply river for electrical engines of the airplane, avionics, Kommunikations-und to other electronic systems with.

   

   

    Pathfinder has also baking UP battery system, which can offer river for two to five hours, thus temporally limited flight after break-down of the darkness. Pathfinder flies airspeed of only 15 to 25 mph. Although pitch control turns yaw control by the use of tiny ailerons at the rear edge of the wing, and will maintain by slowing down or acceleration of the engines on the outside ranges of the wing reaches.

   

        

Solarly Challenger is an improved version of " Gossamer Penguin ' , sketched, over from Paris to England fly.

   

      

The airplane reach a height of 12.000 foot with 16.128 solar cells gives an enormous output of 2600 Watts equipped. Success gave the High Altitude solar (HALSOL) to drone project.

   

    

The goal of this project is it to build Design and solarclaimant micro airplane for autonomous. This system with the name Sky Sailor, is completely autonomous in navigation and the generation of current. Equipped with solar cells for the wing, it calls energy from the sun, in order to give river to the drive system and control electronics, and loads you the accumulator with the surplus of energy.

    

    

In the night, the only energy the available comes from the battery, the introduction slowly up to the next morning, if a new cycle begins. The project began in the year 2004 in the context of a contract with the European space agency to study the feasibility of a Mars Solair airplane. The first prototype weighs 2.6 kg with a wingspan of 3.2 meters. The 216 silicone solar cells in the situation are to supply up to 90 W at noon in the summer of the consideration that the current consumption of the airplane amounts to 16 W with horizontal flight.

  

   

      Eric gave form to Sunseeker after years of hard work, changes and innovations on the wings to that SOLARLY Larry Mauro RISER, Paul MacCready' s solarly Challenger, and Günther Rochelt' s MUSCULAIR II.

    

  

the project began in the year 1986 and received the final form in the years 1989-90 by Sanyo and other enterprises.
