As a part of the Venera-D project, work is underway to create a spacecraft for long-term exploration of Venus. In the course of such studies, it is proposed to use an atmospheric probe designed to study the planet’s atmosphere. Analysis of publications showed, foreign companies are interested in solving the problem of creating a Venus aircraft. The paper describes an approach to designing an aircraft, which works in Venus upper atmosphere and uses solar energy to drive.
