COSMIC MESSAGE
The ERAST Pathfinder-Plus aircraft flew higher than any previous propeller-driven plane, reaching 24,700 meters above Hawaii. This aircraft is powered by sunlight, converting it into energy for flight. It's a prototype, and future aircraft in the ERAST program aim to fly even higher, pushing the boundaries of solar-powered aviation.
