Skydweller Aero is a pioneering US-Spanish aerospace company developing solar-powered autonomous aircraft capable of achieving perpetual flight with heavy payload capacity. The company has adapted technology from the Solar Impulse project to create unmanned aircraft that combine the persistence of geosynchronous satellites with powerful sensing capabilities. Their aircraft can carry loads of up to 400kg and provide services like telecommunications relay, 4G/5G cellular, surveillance, and disaster relief operations. The company secured a €30 million EIB loan in 2023 to scale production, raised $40 million in Series A funding led by Leonardo and Palantir, and has partnerships with major companies like Telefónica for connectivity solutions. They operate testing facilities in Spain and the US, recently achieving the world's first uncrewed autonomous flight of a solar aircraft in Mississippi.
