After the aircraft was rolled out of the hangar, it was mounted on its launch trolley and attached to a tow vehicle for the first time. When stationary, the wing must be supported by the trolley's 'outriggers' – as there is no aerodynamic lift to relieve the load on the aircraft's ultra-light structure. Credit: DLR (CC BY-NC-ND 3.0)
The aircraft uses solar cells for continuous power and flies at low speeds enabled by its large, ultra-light wing.
