• Solar aircraft duration records:
• Zephyr Solar Plane Lands After Over 2 Weeks (!!!) in the Air, Setting New World Record (uninhabited)
  The FAI set the official duration at 336 hours, 22 minutes and eight seconds.
  The three records are: 1) absolute duration of an unmanned autonomous vehicle (UAV) flight, 2) flight duration for a UAV of its class (unmanned craft weighing 50-500kg), and 3) altitude record for a UAV of its class (21,562m/70,741ft).
