The solar-electric plane's "previous endurance record - set in 2018 - was just three minutes short of 26 days without refueling."
"Its latest test was launched on June 15 by a US Military cross-functional team. In a press release issued late last week, the team said it had reached 36 days aloft, and was still flying over the Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona."
