@MrTenshihanQuinn I have seen a news artical on infra red solar cells which due to them relying on infrared light they even work in the dark :)

As long as battery development doesn´t arrive in the modern age this is useless. Same for cars btw.

@keyfromEY

...oh really...

[panuwatjack]

very good idea

[MrTenshihanQuinn]

Now develop the sail & pilot's uniform to have flexible solar-cells + combine with a small prototype 'bloom-box' and you have constant power being supplied to the batteries. ;)

even if it was only like 30 minutes u could go really high and glide the rest of the way to your destination... id stop in random places to grab lunch different spot everyday

The big problem with PPG (especially in Germany) is the noise. With an electric engine this is better. And if you search in Wiki for "Lithium_air_battery", you can see that it's going forward with batteries.

As a next step Helix should learn something about bionics and low-noise propellers...

@gilessmokey  yeah right

i bet 25 mins is the very best duration you will get.
