The challenge is to make solar impulse flights day and night, without using fossil energy. The test flight is successful in night. The innovation is the Solar Impulse is a stone edifice added to the development of renewable energy. If this project reaches its end, it demonstrates that it is also possible to build aircraft capable of flying long distances without polluting.
The project Solar Impulse
The ambitious project of the plane solar impulse has been initiated by Bertrand Piccard, pilot and author of the first round the world nonstop in a balloon.
The final stage of the solar airplane project is the realization of a world tour in stages by 2013.
But to achieve this goal, a long-term work has been underway since the beginning of the decade.
