A glider system capable of sustained long-term flight includes a fixed-wing glider having a dual fuselage system. The top surface of the glider is covered with a plurality of photovoltaic cells capable of powering onboard sensors, propeller systems, and/or onboard processers. The glider includes wing spars with a composite material covering an inner foam core, with the type of foam core or use of reinforcement materials differs along the length or width of the wing spars. The glider is able to downward facing sacrificial winglets to provide a landing system without the need for bulkier landing gear.
