21+ hours in the Air - NewSpace Research and Technologies creates a National UAV Endurance Record Benchmark in India

This feat was accomplished using cutting edge Solar Powered UAV development prototype during the Winter Solstice flight trial at ATR Chitradurga on 22/23 December 2023 by the NRT HAPS Engineering group. Having met all the design goals for long endurance flight on the worst daylight day, this critical milestone successfully unlocks the way ahead for India's foray into the psuedosatellites in the stratosphere.
