Do Solar-Powered Planes Represent the Future of Aviation?

The solar array was provided by Beam Global, a company based in San Diego that puts energy from the sun to many uses. CEO Desmond Wheatley was on hand for the Modesto arrival. 'We believe all aviation will electrify,' he said. 'In the meantime, this sort of thing will be the beginning of it.' Electric aviation has taken only baby steps so far, despite investments by established manufacturers and startups around the world. The planes depend on batteries, which are heavy and need to be recharged often with the current technologies.
