Helios, an unmanned aerial vehicle from AeroVironment
AeroVironment is a Southern California-based company that is responsible for some of the most technically-advanced and potentially-useful machines to be created in that hotbed of aeronautical innovation in some time.
One of those machines is Helios, a solar-powered aircraft capable of long-term, on-station flight in the stratosphere, where it can serve as a platform for the delivery of widely-dispersed cellular, video, and/or broadband wireless Internet access from what is, functionally, a 12-mile high tower.
