Solar-Powered Aircraft

Dedicated to: Prof. Khalilur Rahman, Department of Mathematics, Habibullah Bahar College, Dhaka.

Sunlight rays radiate roughly 1.36kW/m2 kilowatts per square meter on our planet. Can we harness, sustain and manage this free energy efficiently? As our quest for sustainable alternative green energy solution continues, a carbon fiber composites-intensive 1500kg aircraft used 12,000 super-efficient thin solar cells on its 61m wingspan to collect enough energy from the Sun’s rays to power the plane and flew day-night, a 26-hour flight, without fuel at 8,500m altitude at 70km/hr.
