Better known as an Air Cruiser, it’s supposed to do the grunt flying for smaller aircraft—by flying permanently!

Build It Already! Solar Ship Joins The Airship Craze

Posted: 25 Oct 2011 01:56 PM PDT

Since every industry is preoccupied with trends, it comes as no surprise that airships have come into vogue among the aviation-inclined once more. The Solar Ship from Canada’s Solar Ship (what?) is a solar-powered energy-efficient flying machine that doesn’t register high in the sexy scale (a place reserved for the F22 Raptor) but is actually quite feasible. It’s also rugged and slow enough for the passenger to take nice photos (see below).
