Go here to get the latest newsletter from the IAF that has various reports including a link to a New Scientist story about the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich designing a solar powered plane that would fly in the atmosphere of Mars
Sounds very similar to this idea from NASA that would see gliders circumnavigate the planet that Flight wrote about back in the 20th century, or 1999 to be precise

Great links Rob, a solar powered plane for mars would be a great joint project for exploration. Along with balloons we could really give mars the once over it deserves. I an really interested in martian caves this would be great for looking for them.
