The Vision
Pi Fly explores the application of neutrinovoltaic technology to aviation - specifically, whether conversion material integrated into aircraft wing and fuselage surfaces could supplement onboard energy storage and extend flight endurance without fuel or charging stops.
The concept is particularly relevant for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and light aircraft where continuous endurance is valuable: surveillance, environmental monitoring, communications relay, and scientific research missions.
