Breakthrough Technology Demonstrated in Flight Over Pennsylvania
In a groundbreaking test, researchers from Overview Energy successfully demonstrated wireless power transmission from a moving aircraft to ground-based receivers. The test, conducted over Pennsylvania, validated the ability to transmit energy optically from a moving source, despite challenging weather conditions. The technology has the potential to enable space-based solar power transmission, and the company plans to scale up the system for a low Earth orbit demonstration later this decade. The test was reported by AeroTime.
