"Hey Ludovico,
Had a look at your plane, looks like an interesting design. In our teams history we've had some wings with removable trays where the solar cells were below a clear film similar to yours, recently disassembled them to get the cells back…"

An academic/university related section would be great in terms of posting content and accessing other members who are in similar fields. In regards to alternative controllers on this project it's unlikely to happen but I appreciate the input,…"
"Hey Sami,
We've definitely looked at Andre's work/thesis, there is some very useful information to anybody getting started in modelling a project like this or wanting to know how much actual optimization of every subsystem is required.
In regards to…"
