As the aviation industry seeks to reduce its carbon footprint and transition to sustainable energy sources, innovative solutions are emerging to address the challenges of fuel efficiency and environmental impact. One such solution is space-based solar power (SBSP)—a futuristic concept that involves capturing solar energy in space and transmitting it to Earth. While SBSP has primarily been explored for terrestrial energy needs, its potential applications in aviation are equally compelling. By harnessing the limitless energy of the sun from space, future aircraft could achieve unprecedented levels of efficiency and sustainability. This article explores how space-based solar power could fuel future aircraft and revolutionize the aviation industry.
