About Solar Ship Inc. Solar Ship Inc. builds hybrid aircraft to service remote areas. The Solar Ship gains lift from both buoyant gas and aerodynamics. Its wing-ship design allows for short take-off and landing (STOL) such as in a soccer field. This design also provides a large surface area for solar electric power, allowing long, self-sufficient range. The result is efficient transportation that does not rely on things that often are not available in remote areas - fossil fuels, roads or runways. SS19012
