By the year 2025 advances in solar energy collection and energy
storage will enable the construction of a solar powered unmanned
aerial system. Solar powered aircraft (SPA) will have the ability
to remain airborne for months at a time and perform numerous roles
and missions. Breakthroughs in nanotechnology and biotechnology
will enable solar energy and energy storage capacity improvements
to power an SPA. This paper will examine the history of, and
ongoing research into, solar energy and energy storage. Then, based
upon the rate of progress in these two fields, estimate their
capability in the year 2025. Finally, it will briefly analyze
potential roles and missions and determine a way forward for a
solar powered aircraft.
