The "Solar Impulse" Airplane

This is an authentic revolution. A airplane that can move only with solar energy. The weight is similar to a car, made with lightweight materials like composites.
Its long, slender wings are lined with solar panels providing photovoltaic power necessary for flight. Only moderate speeds are allowed.

The energie is stored in batteries. There will be a real flight in 2011. Of course, this is the beginning. But the idea of producing zero emissions is already a good reason to have a cleaner planet.
