3D photophoretic aircraft made from ultralight porous materials can carry kg-scale payloads in the mesosphere

T. Celenza, A. Eskenazi, et al.

This groundbreaking research by Thomas Celenza, Andy Eskenazi, and Igor Bargatin unveils the design of 3D photophoretic aircraft that can soar high in Earth's mesosphere and Mars's atmosphere. With the ability to transport kilogram-scale payloads using ultralight materials, this study not only presents a theoretical lift model but also demonstrates the feasibility of achieving significant payloads at extreme altitudes.... show more
