Eric Raymond's career in flying began with hang gliding. He earned the title of World aerobatic champion in 1983 and 1984 consecutively. He flew Gunther Rochelt's human powered Musculair 2 and with Rochelt's help he formulated the concept for the Sunseeker. The Sunseeker breaks all previous records for solar powered aircraft.



Airships Powered by the Sun To develop long distance electric powered aircraft, Solar Flight has considered all types of flying machines. History shows us that airships were the first type of aircraft capable of safely flying long distances with limited power plants. Therefore, we have chosen a lighter than air configuration for a very long range aircraft.

Unlike blimps which rely on internal pressure to maintain their shape, our design is a rigid airship, of the Zeppelin class. With this machine Solar Flight plans to circumnavigate the globe using only solar energy.

The Sunship is designed to be as small as possible, but large enough to cross the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. It is designed to carry 3 people at lower altitudes, 2 people to medium altitudes, and one person at high altitudes. The Sunship should be able to break the current altitude record for airships of 24,000 ft.

resembles a whale in the sky, designer Jean-Marie Massaud's "Manned Cloud" LTA (lighter-than-air) hybrid airship could represent the future of air travel.
Lifted by three giant helium-filled bladders, the 210 meters long aircraft is 82 meters wide and 52 meters high. With a volume of 520,000 cubic meters, it can carry 40 passengers and 15 crew members on two decks that include 20 state rooms, a restaurant, lounge, library, fitness center and spa, bar and sun deck terrace at top of the craft.

Pathfinder was developed for a classified government program in the early 1980’s to develop a high-altitude, long-endurance aircraft for surveillance purposes. Known as the HALSOL (for High-Altitude SOLar) aircraft, with eight electric motors.
