You try keeping a bird in the air for 19 hours without aerial refueling ... or even burning any petroleum fuel at all.

Get back to us when you have accomplished that.

Do at least try not to get stuck on the stupid idea that the only use for an aircraft is to move things from "point A" to "point B".

This is progress?

Yes, it is. Huge progress, in fact.

-—Huge progress, in fact.——

To what?

Composites have been around for a while. Are these photovoltaic cells particularly light in weight? What’s revolutionary here? The whole exercise could have been drawn up on a chalkboard, and then erased, saving a lot of time and money.

This could have been done 40 years ago. But no one in the last 40 years wanted to spend their own money on a pointless endeavor. I suspect that government funding was involved in some way.
