Whilst the Solar Impulse 2 has been flying since last March, the next five days are set to be the most daring. This is the part where we really sit up and take notice.
A new aircraft called the Solar Impulse 2, was unveiled in Switzerland on 9 April. In 2015 its creators plan to circumnavigate globe in the plane that is completely solar-powered.
The solar-powered plane named the ‘Solar Impulse’ embarked on its maiden voyage in the United States on Friday morning from Moffet Field, near San Francisco and has successfully landed in Phoenix, Arizona. This was the first leg of the plane’s journey across the United States using energy produced by the sun.
