  Falcon Solar Concept Under Development in Hungary                                             Source:  Lasky Design Global Quest For Sustainable, Zero-Emissions Solar Planes There is a global quest to develop solar-powered, zero-emissions, sustainable passenger planes.  One of the most promising and fascinating concepts of this decade is Falcon Solar being developed in Hungary.  The aircraft is shaped like a falcon to capture the bird's agile aerodynamics in flight.  The designer, Laszlo Nemeth of Lasky Design in Budapest, Hungary is inspired by the aerodynamic lessons to be learned from powerful birds of prey, like the falcon, in flight.  That belief in inspiration from Nature provided the genesis of Nemeth's remarkably innovative, solar-powered, electric passenger plane concept.  Nemeth believes that technology is sufficient to allow us to fly on solar power and that solar passenger planes "could be a reality before self-driving cars".

  Zephyr S Flying Non-Stop For Nearly 3 Weeks                                                       Source:  Airbus Zero Emissions Flying Airbus' solar-powered, non-crewed airplane Zephyr S has been flying non-stop for about 20 days gliding on numerous routes from Arizona to the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean and Belize in Central America. The unique aircraft is designed to fly in the stratosphere for months at a time.  The pace is a leisurely 30 knots (estimated).  The solar plane is a drone and a pseudo-satellite. A primary purpose for the aircraft is to serve as a sensor platform for the US military but the potential uses go way beyond that. Big Capabilities According to France-based Airbus, Zephyr is a truly revolutionary piece of aviation technology.  They say it will bring new "see, sense and connect" capabilities for both commercial and military customers.  It will be able to provide connectivity to unconnected parts of the world.  It could revolutionize disaster ma

  Solar Powered Falcon Soar                                                  Source:  Falcon Solar Highly Innovative Aircraft Concept Falcon Soar is one of the world's most innovative, new concept planes.  Designed by Lazlo Nemeth, the award-winning founder of Lasky Design in Budapest, Hungary, the solar powered aircraft greatly resembles a falcon. In fact, the designer says the design was inspired by the bodies of birds of prey.  Birds are incredibly energy efficient and agile.  Falcon Soar, with solar panels embedded across the top of the plane and its wings, is designed to emulate the flight and the efficiency of soaring falcons.  As a solar power aircraft, there are no emissions and no damage to the environment. Ridding the Skies of Plane Greenhouse Gas Emissions Falcon Soar is designed to be a passenger plane that is highly efficient and sustainable.  The concept plane is a takeoff point for using solar energy to power flying and to start ridding the skies of toxic greenhouse
