Engineers have successfully completed a stratospheric flight trial of a British high-altitude drone.

While still in development, the unmanned, solar-electric PHASA-35 system climbed 66,000ft over New Mexico in one day – landing successfully to increase competition in low-earth orbit.

BAE Systems’ subsidiary Prismatic Ltd has been developing PHASA-35 since 2018. Operating at the same height as an alleged Chinese spy balloon hovering high above North America in the second layer of Earth's atmosphere, it possesses a host of potential military applications for the long-endurance drone.
