    Swiss Solar Plane

    Up, up and away powered only by the sun. Tonight will be the true test - whether it can store enough solar energy to fly through the night.

    LOve that kinda stuff, hope it does well
    Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
    think about that

        Their next project will be to fly a smaller version across the Atlantic and then to fly around the World.

            About the same wingspan as a 747.

              Speaking about planes,it's really irritating why air transportation in 21st century is still so expensive,so i hope this will work and reduce a.t. prices to normal level.

                    That's a huge wingspan to basically just carry 1 man.

                          Solar energy is great for reducing pollution.
                          Can the solar plane fly? The test results will show.

                                The plane successfully flew through the night and landed this morning without incident.

                                    This can be also used to build space ships for colonization since you cant use gas in space.
