Solar Ship Inc. is a company based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada working to develop a hybrid aircraft to deliver critical cargo to cut-off places.

[3] The concept behind Solar Ship was based on airships and the Canadian bush plane, and was devised by Jay Godsall in 1983.

[4] The solarship's wing-ship design allows for extreme short takeoff and landing (XSTOL or eSTOL), such as in a soccer field.

Its design provides a large surface area for solar electric power, allowing long, self- sufficient range.

The solarship can access areas where planes, trucks, ships, and airships cannot, delivering cargo to the places that are currently cut off from the benefits of the connected world.
