by | 11-03-2015 02:10



As I have reported earlier, we all would be eagerly waiting for the historic day when Solar Impulse flight will start it's world tour in March...Now I proudly notify you all that today is that day, when the flight with only solar power (no back ups) started it's tour...

It started from Abu Dhabi (UAE) and first destination was neighbouring country Oman (Muscat) and then agaiun on the same day it flew to Ahmadabad (India) and as I am writing this report, news received that it landed India successfully...

Those who are not tracking this, this is one of the most ambitious green project in the field of aviation in recent times, which aims at highlighting the importance of renewable energy and the spirit of innovation. The aircraft?s wings are covered by more than 17,000 solar cells that recharge the plane?s batteries. It flies ideally at around 25 knots, or 45 km/h.Solar Impulse-2 is slated to make 12 stops during its 35,000-km journey, including in China and Myanmar, before it crosses over the Pacific Ocean. It will then land in Hawaii and the US Midwest and East Coast before flying over the Atlantic Ocean. It may also stop in southern Europe or North Africa, depending on weather conditions.

If this entire trip is successful, it will open a new chapter in green travel around the world and so everybody is tracking this flight path all over the world...Even all of us can track the flight online through their website (www.solarimpulse.com), which is fully loaded with many interactive facilities like chatting, live status, photos etc..
