Hybrid Wings Solar Airplane

Electric Solar Airplane. This is a mini movie that proves the airplane can flight three times more than the normal electric airplane.

This is a solar airplane with a rechargeable system. While the airplane is on the air, the battery is charged by using solar energy. There is electrical engineering involved behind this project. Something that maybe you don't know about it.

oh no!... clouds aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

the video is 1:50 long, Can the plane really charge as fast as it's using the power? They could have sent it up with full batteries. It also looks like they could fit more spaniels on it.

@happygoat3 the bateris are being charged by the sun witch means clouds wont hurt unless they stay until the betery dies(im guessing somewhere around 30-60min)

where did you get the motor from tell me the name of the motor too

spanglish! yeaak

*goes to the sun and hits hyperspeed*

little guy inside: OH YEAH BISH! GOIN' TO MARS!

Magnifico cacharro. Si encima le poneis una cámara no tendría precio para tener un método muy barato para tomar imagenes aéreas sin necesidad de contratar un avion ni preocuparse de si la bateria se agota,,,

Add a miniture wi-fi camera on the plane! :)

Idea works, using a solar film to cover the wing may extend flight time SLIGHTLY on a small scale plane like this, however this small array would only charge at a fraction of one amp, meaning it would take all day to charge the battery on the plane. More solar film on a large foam motor glider would be way more efficient; I get one hour flights with my foamie Parkzone Radian, without panels.

Goods job, guys!
