About this report
Skydweller Aero is a transatlantic aerospace company developing an unprecedented class of unmanned aircraft: a solar-powered drone capable of perpetual flight. Born from the record-setting Solar Impulse 2 project, this U.S.-Spanish venture has transformed a piloted experimental solar plane into a fully autonomous platform designed for months-long endurance .
With a wingspan rivaling a Boeing 747 yet a fraction of the weight, the Skydweller aircraft promises to deliver continuous surveillance and communication services with zero carbon emissions . Backed by major European defense players and national support, Skydweller Aero sits at the nexus of green technology and defense innovation.
