I worked in a start-up doing High Altitude Solar powered UAV's (ultra-light carbon fiber airframes, etc.)... your motors would have been awesome for that. Flying above 50k feet has a host of challenges.

Wish you guys a bunch of success...exciting times.

Thanks! Yes, high-altitude UAVs is a great application for our motors. We're developing a new insulation system for our coils so we have spent a lot of time looking into the challenges high altitude poses - corona, cooling, all sorts of fun stuff. Lots of altitude chamber testing in our future!
