Airbus Zephyr is a solar-powered unmanned aircraft made for long flights. The aircraft offers mobile connectivity services, mobility platforms, Earth observation and other government activities.

According to Airbus Haps CEO Samer Halawi, the platform is attracting interest from various mobile network operators as well as other service providers globally. The CEO also highlights that the platform will offer unprecedented savings.
