About: Stationary High Altitude Relay Platform

An Entity of Type: aircraft, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

SHARP, short for Stationary High Altitude Relay Platform, was an experimental aircraft using beam-powered propulsion designed by the Communications Research Centre Canada (CRC) and built by the (UTIAS) during the 1980s. SHARP used microwaves to provide energy from a ground station that powered electric motors spinning propellers to keep the aircraft aloft. The power was also used for the onboard electronics. SHARP could remain aloft indefinitely, and was intended to be used as a sort of low-altitude communications satellite for smaller geographical areas.
