Icarus

Icarus is a startup focused on developing advanced stratospheric aircraft, specifically their flagship product, APOLLO. This solar-powered, autonomous aircraft is designed to operate at altitudes above 60,000 feet, providing a unique solution for data delivery and communication resilience. By flying in the stratosphere, APOLLO avoids many of the limitations associated with traditional satellite communication, such as latency and vulnerability to weather conditions. It is engineered for extreme endurance, capable of continuous flight for weeks without landing, thus offering a persistent presenc…
