On Monday, March 25, Skydweller Aero is scheduled to open its flight test and aircraft modification facility at Stennis International Airport in Hancock County, Mississippi.
This grand opening not only marks a major milestone for Stennis International Airport, but it also unveils Skydweller, the nation’s only large unmanned solar-powered aircraft capable of perpetual flight.
Skydwellers are autonomous solar-powered aircraft, each with a wingspan greater than a 747, that can stay aloft for months at time with zero carbon footprint. Skydweller Aero is building a fleet of the world’s largest solar-powered unmanned aircraft capable of perpetual flight. The company will unveil the first-of-its-kind aircraft that will fly autonomous missions of up to 90 days or longer carrying payloads of up to 800 pounds.
