“We can stay over an area of operation, and we do that in the stratosphere right around 60,000 feet, so we’re twice as high as air traffic and we’re above the jet stream, and yet 30 times closer than low-Earth orbit satellites,” Mikkel Frandsen, founder and CEO of Sceye, told Ars. “We can fly through day and night until the sun comes up the next morning and recharges the batteries, at which point we’re still at the same altitude and still over the same area of operation.”

funny. I have only recently thought about this because of the hybrid airships.
