July 8th, 2010
A 12,000 solar-cell aircraft has just successfuly remained airborne for 25 hours, using nothing but solar energy from the sun. this was a test flight from Switzerland, using a thin fuselage and the wings of a Boeing 777 aircraft. an altitude of 28,000 feet was achieved at a speed of 75 miles per hour. was this not only a success story, but also the future of aviation, using solar power? i wonder whats next?
