Low cost, long endurance flight
Monitor maritime activity and provide cell service in disaster zones without rocket launches or manned aircraft.
By using world class solar cells, batteries and airfoils, we can remain aloft in the stratosphere for months at a time. We soar gently above the weather in the thin air of the stratosphere, providing direct 5G cell coverage without installing any local ground equipment.
Monitoring in remote locations
Manned aircraft have limited endurance. Jet powered drones run out of fuel. LEO satellites only capture intermittent snapshots.
Our aircraft loiters over an area providing continuous video to the user.
