Have a look at the world’s first solar blimp, built by et Sol’r. The following machine looks so cool – it seems to me it is a completely professional flying thing. However, the blimp was created as a result of a collaboration between students at engineering and technical schools in France.
The blimp measures 72 feet long and 18 feet wide and comes with a nylon and polyethylene aluminum frame. Also, it features semi-flexible solar cells that can generate up to 2.4 kilowatts, so it can move at 25 mph.
The ship is expected to fly across the Channel in under an hour.
