But, I’m not an engineer. Thus, I had no way to go from concept to design to prototype. I’m glad that someone is proving that the concept works. I have an idea for two viable market niches for this aircraft. Hopefully, someone in the company will see this comment and contact me.

Hi Maurice, There are so many applications for this innovative transportation technology. And if they can scale it up to make it handle up to 30 ton payloads I would expect it can become a fixture even in the construction industry as an alternative to sky cranes and helicopters. Thanks for your comment.]]> In reply to Maurice.

I thought they were focusing on delivering medicines in remote locations in Africa – but what the heck, this tech is so adaptable for all remote locations. Interesting that such a sustainable air transport technology is being used to support the extractives industry, an interesting partnership, eh! Keep up the great work to move sustainable aviation forward Jay.

There are videos at www.solarship.com/video. Some appear to be manned flights. But the solar cell membrane is not evident in the images.]]> In reply to Niccolo5.
