  Really amazing solar powered (unmanned) aircraft can fly continuously by charging batteries during the day. They just broke a record by flying for 3 days straight (on auto-pilot).

  Nice video of the takeoff and detail of wing structure here.

  Quoted: A UK-built solar-powered plane sets an unofficial world endurance record for a flight by an unmanned aircraft.
