QinetiQ has announced that its Zephyr solar powered high-altitude long-endurance (HALE) Unmanned Air System (UAS) has been flying for the past week, smashing a number of long-standing world records.

Currently flying high above the US Army’s Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona, Zephyr has already passed the seven day / 168 hour mark and the clock is still running.
