Abstract:
An aircraft includes a substrate having a curvature to form a lift surface, a plurality of solar cells carried by, bonded to, and impressed into the substrate, and electrical connections between the solar cells carried by the substrate. The electrical connections coupled to link the solar cells together to provide power to the aircraft while in flight.
