Introducing Sceye HAPS: an airship-like aircraft with a mission
of Skehaps is no ordinary airplane. This unmanned, 213-foot-long, helium-filled behemoth is designed to soar into the stratosphere and hover 60,000 to 65,000 feet above the Earth's surface. What's really special about this plane is that it can carry high-speed internet to areas that traditional infrastructure can't reach.

Is this 656-foot air yacht the luxury vehicle of the future?
Solar powered stratospheric monitor
One of the most impressive features of Sceye HAPS is its power source. The craft is covered in a “solar cape” made of gallium selenium and gallium arsenide solar cells, allowing it to harness the sun's energy to stay airborne for months. This sustainable method of powering allows HAPS to continuously perform vital tasks, from providing internet access to monitoring environmental conditions.

Breaking Records and Bridging Gaps
Sceye HAPS is already making waves in the real world, setting a long-distance record by maintaining a data connection over a distance of more than 87 miles, far beyond typical LTE range. This achievement has huge implications for bridging the digital divide, especially in areas like the Navajo Nation, where HAPS is part of a project to provide universal broadband access. By demonstrating such long-distance connectivity, Sceye HAPS proves its potential to revolutionize internet access in remote and underserved communities.
