Solar Plane

In what will be a significant addition to India's arsenal, scientists have been developing a solar-powered plane that can fly up to 90 days at a stretch, and a smaller version has been flown successfully for ten hours.

A narrow airstrip that doesn't even have an air traffic controller to guide incoming planes and whose only infrastructure is a portable toilet and a make-shift office in a container is an unlikely gateway to the world's largest renewable energy park.

A stunning video captured thousands of feet above the air by Southwest Airlines has surfaced on Instagram, leaving users delighted.

Two of NASA's WB-57 jet planes will be deployed to chase the eclipse to study the sun's outer atmosphere, known as the corona.

A Harvard astrophysics professor has suggested the mysterious interstellar object “Oumuamua” could be linked to the dozens of UAVs reported by US military planes over the years. Avi Loeb claimed that Oumuamua, first discovered in 2017, could be a listening device designed by an extraterrestrial intelligent civilisation that is dropping “senso...

A study of comet motions indicates that the solar system has a second alignment plane. Analytical investigation of the orbits of long-period comets shows that the aphelia of the comets, the point where they are farthest from the Sun, tend to fall close to either the well-known ecliptic plane where the planets reside or a newly discovered 'empty ecl...

The city has become an "urban heat island" with rising temperatures.

After building up a $15 billion fortune pumping oil, Viktor Vekselberg is turning to solar for his attempt to win a place in history.

The first solar plane aimed at reaching the stratosphere made an initial low-altitude test flight over Switzerland Friday.

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.

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 Aquila program is a key part of Mark Zuckerberg's stated goal of helping connect everyone in the world.

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.
