Advancements in Stratospheric Flight: Drones and Solar Planes Soar to New Heights

Drones are pushing the boundaries of flight as companies race to develop unmanned aircraft that can reach stratospheric heights and stay aloft for extended periods of time. These high-altitude drones have the potential to revolutionize industries such as telecommunications, weather monitoring, and surveillance. However, challenges such as extreme temperatures, strong winds, and limited battery life need to be overcome for these drones to become commercially viable.
