[...] genre d’aile volante de 65 m d’envergure et de 2, 40 m de profondeur, sans fuselage ni empennage qui ressemble à une sorte de très longue poutre assez plate, fabriquée en matériaux composites ultra-légers, graphite et Kevlar et qui pèse environ 500 kg, charge utile comprise. La quasi-totalité de l'aile est recouverte de panneaux solaires qui transformeront l'énergie lumineuse du soleil en énergie électrique; celle-ci, d’abord stockée dans des batteries, alimente de 12 à 14 hélices réparties au bord de fuite de l'aile. Le Centurion dispose cependant d’une gouverne de profondeur sur le bord de fuite, pour assurer la stabilité en tangage(montée et descente) de l'aile. Quant aux changements de direction, ils s’effectuent en ajustant la vitesse de rotation de hélices d’un côté ou de l'autre. Si on augmente celle-ci sur les moteurs installés à gauche de l'aile, l'avion va virer vers la droite. Et inversement. 2, record 1, French, - avion%20solaire
