The First Solar-Powered Round-the-World Flight Has Begun
The world's first round-the-world trip on a solar-powered plane got under
way Monday with the initial leg from Abu Dhabi to the Omani capital, Muscat.
Swiss pilots Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg will pursue a recordshattering five-month journey, spanning 21,750 miles across several
continents and two oceans, while using zero conventional fuel.
The Solar Impulse-2's lightweight construction — weighing a mere 4,600
lb. — combined with its 236-ft. wingspan lined with 17,000 solar cells, makes it
the first solar-powered aircraft capable of flying during both day and night. [...]
The pilots have undergone rigorous preparation drills, and will forgo all
sleep longer than 20 minutes while airborne, practicing yoga and selfhypnosis to cope with their airborne ordeal. (Some stints will involve flying
continuously for five days.) Rest stops will be spent advocating for their cleantechnology campaign.
