Innovation Takes Flight
By collaborating with Silent Falcon, an unmanned aircraft manufacturer in the United States, we increased flight time by 50%. This was achieved by seamlessly integrating our solar modules into the wings of its airplanes and exemplifies the next generation power solutions for the industry. Silent Falcon sells its own UAVs to the private and public sector. Our relationship with Silent Falcon has led to several other solar integration opportunities within the aerospace market.
