shropshire 0 #1 September 10, 2007 Sweeeeeeetttt. QuoteA lightweight solar-powered plane has smashed the official world record for the longest-duration unmanned flight. UK defence firm Qinetiq, which built the Zephyr unmanned aerial vehicle, said it flew for 54 hours during tests. The researchers believe it is the first time a solar-powered craft has flown under its own power through two nights. clicky (.)Y(.)
