extreme temperature variations as the aircraft climbs and the high power requirements during takeoff. The flight testing of the Cessna 172 demonstrates Panacis ability to deliver the lightest high power battery systems in a production ready format for applications where weight is critical. The use of UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) is one of the fastest growing segments of the U.S. Military with an estimated 12% annual growth projected to reach more than $ 18B in 2018 according to the U.S. Military Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) Market Forecast 2013-2018. The majority of UAVs are powered by batteries and can benefit from the technology demonstrated by Panacis in these recent aircraft tests.
