BAE Systems has successfully completed test flights of its solar-powered aircraft, PHASA-35, which could revolutionize aerial surveillance by providing an affordable alternative to satellites.
'These latest flight trials are a significant step forward in proving PHASA-35's capability for operations and a real moment of pride for our entire team,' said Bob Davidson.
PHASA-35's ability to fly persistently for up to 20 months in the stratosphere makes it a game-changer for operations requiring long-term aerial presence and surveillance.
With a wingspan of 35 meters and the goal of operating by 2026, PHASA-35 offers versatile applications including earth observation, border control, and disaster relief.
