First Night Flight of Solar Powered Plane
Besides being the first to take flight at night with a solar powered plane Solar Impulse, whose wingspan is the same as an Airbus A340, was also the longest and highest flight in the history of solar aviation, organizers said.
The flight flew 26 hours and 9 minutes, powered only by solar energy stored during the day.
Even on a day that saw Lebron desert Cleveland this is one hell of a quote:
“We are on the verge of the perpetual flight,” he said.
The quote comes from Bertrand Piccard, the Swiss president of the project, best known for completing the first round-the-world flight in a hot air balloon in 1999, said the success of the flight showed the potential of renewable energies and clean technology.
