- Solar Solitude Official Website
- Solar Solitude is a solar powered electric radio controlled model that held an altitude record of 4210 feet, and also a world distance record with a 24.7 mile flight. Its longest flight has been 6 hour 1 minute. All of this was done with no batteries in the plane!

- Nice plane, but bad luck with the flights...

Laser powered aircraft

- If you put the solar cells at the bottom, you can power an RC plane via a ground-based laser. Then you can keep it in the air for an unlimited time. Sounds like a great idea.
