That's 1600Kg for the aircraft Scuffers, not the solar panels.



I don't disagree with you re the viability of solar powered passenger flights in heavier than air vehicles, but the applicability of the tech to blimps is obvious.

Zephyr has better than 1KW per Kg. Not bad, and getting better all the time.
