Solar Impulse

Solar Impulse 2 made history today as the first airplane to circle the globe powered only by the sun, opening up new possibilities for the future of renewable energy.

Solar Impulse 2 first took off from Abu Dhabi on March 9, 2015, beginning a landmark journey of about 40,000 km around the globe and nearly 500 hours of flying.

Swiss pilot Andre Borschberg lives by the rallying cry of "making the impossible possible", and now he and his compatriot Bertrand Piccard have done just that.

Solar Impulse 2 landed today in the UAE, completing its epic journey to become the first sun-powered airplane to circle the globe without a drop of fuel to promote renewable energy.

The first solar-powered plane to circle the world took off from Cairo on Sunday for Abu Dhabi, in the final leg of its journey.

The final leg of an unprecedented world tour by a solar-powered plane was postponed Saturday due to the pilot's health, he said in a message on Twitter.

The Solar Impulse 2 landed in Cairo today for its penultimate stop as the solar-powered plane nears the end of its marathon tour around the world.

The Solar Impulse 2 left southern Spain on Monday on its way to Egypt for the penultimate leg of the solar-powered airplane's landmark round-the-world journey.

The Solar Impulse 2 landed in Spain today morning after completing a 70-hour flight from New York in the first solo transatlantic crossing in a solar-powered airplane.

The Solar Impulse 2's voyage marks the first solo transatlantic crossing in a solar-powered airplane.

The Solar Impulse 2 aircraft passed the halfway mark of its marathon flight across the Atlantic late Tuesday, one of the most challenging legs of its historic sun-powered journey around the world.

The sun-powered Solar Impulse 2 aircraft set off from New York's JFK airport early today, embarking on the transatlantic leg of its record-breaking flight around the world to promote renewable energy.

The Swiss team flying the aircraft in a campaign to build support for clean energy technologies hopes eventually to complete its circumnavigation in Abu Dhabi.

The Swiss pilot readying to cross the Atlantic in a solar-powered plane on the next leg of a record-breaking, round-the-world mission says he is making science fiction reality.

he pilots of a solar-powered airplane on a globe-circling voyage that began more than a year ago said their flight over the Statue of Liberty before landing in New York inspired them on their mission to promote a world free from reliance on fossil fuels.
