Solar Ship is a world leader in developing hybrid aircraft; combining two forms of lift: static lift, generated by a buoyant gas, combined with the aerodynamic lift of a wing. This creates the capacity to fly large loads over long distances without the use of fossil fuels. It has extremely short takeoff and landing capabilities, making Solar Ship the ideal aircraft for accessing remote areas.
