The Swiss aviators behind the Solar Impulse team, which completed an entirely solar powered around-the-world flight in months, are planning an unmanned solar-powered drone. The potential for the drone to be able to operate at low altitudes for July uninterrupted could have applications in bouncing WiFi signals to poorly serviced areas or collecting agricultural data, as well as promoting clean energy solutions.
