One should not buy shares from companies one likes I guess. But I do like Aerovironment a lot. Look at this test machine of theirs that flies at 100,000 feet with no fule for more than 4 days. Its breaking barriers, its the excitement of discovery.
The Helios Prototype is one of several remotely piloted aircraft — also known as uninhabited aerial vehicles, or UAV's — being developed as technology demonstrators by several small airframe manufacturers under NASA's Environmental Research Aircraft and Sensor Technology (ERAST) project.
Developed by AeroVironment, Inc., of Monrovia, Calif., the unique craft is intended to demonstrate two key missions: the ability to reach and sustain horizontal flight at 100,000 feet altitude on a single-day flight, and to maintain flight above 50,000 feet altitude for at least four days, both on electrical power derived from non-polluting solar energy.
