Powering the Skies: How Solar Farms in Space Could Revolutionize Air Travel

<p>Have you ever imagined a world where planes don&rsquo;t need fuel stops? Well, it might not be as far-fetched as you think. The X37&rsquo;s mission to test a space-based solar power farm could be a game-changer, especially for the airline industry. Picture this: planes flying non-stop, powered by beams of light from the heavens. Sounds like something out of a sci-fi novel, doesn&rsquo;t it?</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/0*BA15DDA3NLfeYnGK" style="height:467px; width:700px" /></p> <p>Photo by&nbsp;<a href="https://unsplash.com/@grakozy?utm_source=medium&amp;utm_medium=referral" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Greg Rakozy</a>&nbsp;on&nbsp;<a href="https://unsplash.com/?utm_source=medium&amp;utm_medium=referral" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Unsplash</a></p> <p>This isn&rsquo;t just about reducing layovers; it&rsquo;s a giant leap towards sustainable travel. Solar panels in space could catch sunlight without Earth&rsquo;s atmospheric interruptions, turning it into power that&rsquo;s beamed directly to planes in flight. Imagine the freedom &mdash; more space for passengers and less weight from batteries. Plus, it&rsquo;s green energy, reducing the carbon footprint of our sky-high adventures.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@LilyThompson1/powering-the-skies-how-solar-farms-in-space-could-revolutionize-air-travel-59204f3ff274"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
