Program Description

Event Details

Embrace lifelong learning with the GOOD to KNOW! program series featuring guest presentations and workshops.

Learn about the Skydweller drone from Operations Director, David Tyler. The Skydweller has missions like detecting drug smugglers and pirates at sea, providing continuous aerial coverage above war zones, surveilling naval activity in contested waters without risking flight crew's lives, and tracking wildlife migration and poaching in Africa.

Skydweller Aero Inc. is a pioneering transatlantic aerospace company developing and manufacturing a fleet of very large solar-powered aircraft capable of achieving perpetual uncrewed flight with heavy, powerful payloads. Because Skydwellers are solar-powered and autonomous, they are inexpensive to operate and maintain and feature zero carbon footprint. 

Following the presentation, attendees are welcome to follow David Tyler to see the aircraft at the north end of the Stennis runway just off Texas Flats Rd.
