Into the Stratosphere: The PHASA-35’s Leap In a remarkable display of technical prowess, the PHASA-35 Uncrewed Aerial System (UAS), a brainchild of BAE Systems’ subsidiary Prismatic Ltd, has taken a triumphant leap into the stratosphere. An ambitious project begun in 2018, the PHASA-35 trial saw the high-altitude pseudo-satellite reach beyond 66,000 feet in a 24-hour span. Powering Up: Harnessing Sun and Innovation This leap wasn’t fueled by fossil fuels but by the sun. The PHASA-35, with its massive 35-meter wingspan, is laden with advanced solar electric cells and photo-voltaic arrays. This combination, along with an innovative energy management system, allows … Continue reading Solar Wings in the Stratosphere: The Triumph and Trials of BAE Systems PHASA-35
