Solar powered plane

A British firm has developed a prototype of an unmanned aeriel vehicle (UAV) to be used to assist military reconaissance operations.

One word describes it: elegant

No stats yet on the speed such an aircraft could attain.

I'd be sure that 450kg could certainly support a single human passenger, pressurization system and water.

Take-off velocity might be reached by launch from an aircraft-carrier catapult.

Could this be the future of air travel?
