Development of lightweight and flexible panels by CEA-Liten
SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPMENT OF A SPECIFIC MODULE DESIGNED FOR THE STRATOBUS ™ AIRSHIP:
• Lightweight <800 g/m²
• High efficiency >220 W/m² (AM0; 40°C)
• Large scale >4m² with 1 by-pass diode per cell.
• Resistance to stratospheric conditions: temperature, UV, Ozone, wind….
• Integrated electrical and mechanical interfaces.
• Terrestrial and low cost fabrication processes.

“800g/m²”: this is becoming interesting for ASWES of type balloon-based, or NPW in lifter static (not crosswind) mode carrying a tiltable wind turbine working in power mode (not tilted) when good or high wind or in lifting (tilted) mode when low wind, and equipped with a pod similar to the pods used for crosswind flight, to ensure an active control of stability in addition to the natural stability, or, to a lesser extent (because of the cyclic deformation and the flight management issue), parasail in yo-yo mode.
