a new category of unmanned aircraft, the High Altitude Pseudo-Satellite (HAPS).

 Phasa-35 moves so slowly it can appear to be going backwards.

This weird, elongated British aircraft is powered by small electric engines attached to elongated wings encasing solar panels. These capture power during the day and keep the two engines turning at night.
