HEY i am in process of creating a 5ft long solar powered plane anyone know where i can get help??i already got solar powered motors
i need help in developing the body of the plane etc as i can have it design in china also with solar...


lol, that's a weird question

Helios Solar Powered Aircraft


Compilation of test flights. Pathfinder Solar Plane preceeded Centurion. Pathfinder turned into Pathfinder+ by removing the original center panel ...

what was the name of the solar powered plane that flew around the world?


was it the nasa pathfinder?


The Zephyr flew for 80 some hours, but did not circumvent the earth,
The Path finder has been tested but its endurance is only about 14 to 15 hours, daylight limited with two to five hours on backup batteries.

When sun shines on the solar cells they create the power to rotate the propeller enabling the plane to fly around the base
This solar powered aeroplane definitely makes a statement on any high flyer's desk
Made from polished aluminum high tech solar cells are built into the wings

How can i build a plane or car that runs on solar power and water!?

You guys might think im crazy butit would be really cool to show off and stuff


You can, but it would be neither easy or cheap. Light weight is the key. Making most anything useful to run on water is all but impossible. It takes more energy to break down the water into hydrogen and oxygen than the use thereof would generate....

"Watt's Up" RC Watt Meter & Power Analyzer WU100 Version 2 --- SALE!
Tenergy

Fine-tuning your electric RC cars & planes for great performance doesn't have to be a guessing game. Measures energy (Wh), charge (Ah), power (W), current (A) and voltage (V) for any rechargeable battery pack from 4 - 60V, including NiCd, NiMH , and SLA, and Li-Ion battery packs
Uses DSP to increase ADC resolution and differential measurement amplifiers to increase noise immunity Factory calibration stores constants in EEPROM to compensate for component tolerances
Acts like a wire so doesn't affect model's performance. Precision current sensing resistor, with only 0.001 Ohm resistance and circuitry only draws 0.007 Amps

if i had a solar powered plane how fast would i have to fly to stay in the sun?

basically i want to know how fast the night or daytime moves around the earth
at the equator


at the equator, roughly 1,000 mph. Around New York's latitude, around 700mph

Could a plane be solar powered?

sitting in an open runway soaking up sun that could store energy in the battery and being close to the sun gives it more power
iknow thinks might run unto like birds or the pressuere or something and crack them alot but could u put a...


Potentially a very small, ultralight aircraft could be built that would fly, a drone wwith little or no weight, or passenger for that matter.

Poroblem is energy to mass ratios, the surfcae area you would need to generate enough...

    • Value chain in solar industry planned

    MUSCAT: A group of high net worth investors from Germany is planning to develop the entire value chain in solar energy industry on a turn-key basis in Oman.

    These ventures include a plant to produce solar panels, a high profile university on renewable energy in affiliation with the University of Zurich, a unit to make aluminium frames, and a solar power project.

    The integrated project will be developed by Terra Nex Financial Engineering AG Switzerland, a Swiss licensed wealth management company, with the support of its Omani partner.

    Competitive advantages
    Terra Nex has launched a specially designed renewable energy fund for its German investors, in cooperation

    Bertrand Piccard's solar-powered plane takes flight | Cheapflights.com

    by Andrea Mooney

    In green travel news, a solar-powered plane took flight in Switzerland this week. Designed to fly both day and night, the Solar Impulse , spearheaded by Dr. Bertrand Piccard has 12,000 solar cells built into its wings, and runs without the fuel and leaves no emissions. The aircraft is a prototype for a larger plane that will hopefully fly around the world in 2012 without the use of fuel.

    For almost an hour and a half, German test pilot Markus Schedel flew the Solar Impulse 3.973 feet in the air.

    The aircraft, which took six years to build, has the wingspan of an Airbus A340 and weighs 3,527 pounds. In December the plane first took flight for a test run near Zurich .

    The propeller plane is made of carbon fibers, and is powered by four electric motors. It saves energy from its solar cells and high performance batteries, and Piccard hopes that it will reach a speed for 44 miles per hour, and elevate to 27,900 feet. The project’s budget is $100 million Swiss francs (approx. $94 million).
