Capacité

Le solar eagle devra réaliser des vols à des altitudes au niveau de la stratosphère (au delà des 60 000 pieds soit plus de 20 000 mètres d'altitude) sur une période d'au moins cinq ans. Ses missions premières devraient être la reconnaissance, la surveillance et les communications. Il sera propulser par des moteurs électriques et alimenter par le soleil, via des panneaux solaires repartis sur ses 120 mètres d'envergures.

Le solar eagle devrait être prêt pour 2014, selon les exigences du DARPA.
