<p>Solar Impulse, the world&#8217;s first intercontinental solar energy powered aircraft, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/jul/26/solar-impulse-plane-makes-history-completing-round-the-world-trip?utm_source=esp&amp;utm_medium=Email&amp;utm_campaign=GU+Today+main+NEW+H+categories&amp;utm_term=183253&amp;subid=15976267&amp;CMP=EMCNEWEML6619I2">finally touched down last month in Abu Dhabi after completing a round the world flight</a>. The flight took more than a year to complete, after originally taking off from Abu Dhabi in March, 2015.</p>
<p>The 2.3 tonne aircraft was piloted by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertrand_Piccard">Swiss adventurer Bertrand Picard</a> and his <a href="http://andreborschberg.com/">associate André Borschberg</a>, another Swiss adventurer, businessman and pilot. They managed to spend 23 days of actual flight time in the air by alternating piloting the craft, which has a wingspan of 72 meters (236.22 ft). Powered by 72,000 solar cells, the flight was challenged by adverse weather conditions, over heating storage batteries, and extreme cases of fatigue due to having to fly in a cramped, single seat cabin. But it was a landmark moment for history.</p>
<p>Solar Impulse 2 is a similar version of the previous solar powered plane, Solar Impulse, that made history when it <a href="http://www.greenprophet.com/2012/07/solar-plane-impulse-spain-morocco/">flew a non-stop flght from Madrid, Spain to Rabat, Morroco</a> and back again in July, 2012. This flight, part of which occurred during the night, helped to show that solar powered flight is possible under the right conditions. The Solar Impulse 2 flight, which also included night flying, often flew at an altitude of up to 29,000 feet during the daytime and glided at a lower altitude of 5,000 feet during the night to save energy.</p>
<p>The last leg of the journey, from Cairo to Abu Dhabi, was especially difficult due to a large amount of air turbulence: &#8220;It was very inspiring though as I neared my final destination, knowing this had been accomplished without the use of conventional fuel&#8221; says Picard.</p>
<p>Before the Solar Impulse project began, Picard, together with another adventurer, Brian Jones, made history by<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breitling_Orbiter"> being the first persons to fly around in earth in a high altitude balloon</a>. This journey, in March, 1999, lasted 19 days, 21 hours and 55 minutes.</p>
<p>The Solar Impulse 2 journey was plagued with difficulties: financial ones as well as mechanical difficulties. These included having to be grounded in Hawaii during the winter of 2015 to 16 because of overheating batteries. Flying the plane was often extremely difficult due to the cramped flight cabin and not having heating or pressurization. The single pilot seat also had a built-in toilet.</p>
<p>Despite these difficulties the flight gave the men a great sense of achievement of flying around the earth, powered only by the sun: &#8220;Now I really want to leverage this demonstration and create a world council for clean technologies,&#8221; says Picard, who hopes this feat will help bring the contribution of alternative energy to help combat the ravages of climate change.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is a historic day for humanity,&#8221; said UN Secretary Ban K. Moon.</p>
<p>Indeed says Green Prophet!</p>

But one is soaring above the rest of them &#8211; a <a href="http://www.greenprophet.com/2015/02/solar-impulse-2-mission-control-center-to-launch-abu-dhabi-flight-in-march/" target="_blank">solar-powered plane</a> attempting to fly round the world!</p>
<p>Solar Impulse 2 took off from Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates early on Monday morning and has already completed its first 250-mile (400km) leg, landing in the Omani capital of Muscat. It’s now on its way to India.</p>
<p>Two pilots are attempting the potentially record-breaking voyage. The journey will take several months to complete, and if successful the plane will be the first to fly round the world without any fuel.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.greenprophet.com/2014/10/solar-plane-will-circumnavigate-earth-in-2015/" target="_blank">Solar Impulse founders André Borschberg and Bertrand Piccard</a> will take it in turns to fly the plane, swapping at each stop. Their 5,000 km (22,000 miles) journey has been organized to garner international attention on sustainable energy.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.greenprophet.com/wp-content/uploads/solar-impulse-plane-2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-109350" src="https://www.greenprophet.com/wp-content/uploads/solar-impulse-plane-2.jpg" alt="Pilot in cockpit" width="600" height="400" srcset="https://www.greenprophet.com/wp-content/uploads/solar-impulse-plane-2.jpg 600w, https://www.greenprophet.com/wp-content/uploads/solar-impulse-plane-2-350x233.jpg 350w, https://www.greenprophet.com/wp-content/uploads/solar-impulse-plane-2-370x247.jpg 370w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p>After stopping in India, the plane will head to Myanmar and China before flying over the Pacific Ocean and across the United States and southern Europe to eventually arrive back in Abu Dhabi in approximately five months.</p>
<p>The plane weighs around the same size as a family car (2,300 kg, 5,100 pounds,) yet it actually has a wingspan as wide as the largest passenger airliner.</p>
<p>The Solar Impulse website states that: &#8220;Solar Impulse wants to mobilize public enthusiasm in favor of technologies that will allow decreased dependence on fossil fuels, and induce positive emotions about renewable energies.” Well, they’ve got off to a flying that with that!</p>
<p>The project has been over 12 years in the making, with research, tests and development. The Solar Impulse team is made up of around 90 people, including engineers, technicians and mission controllers. It also has about 100 partners and advisers to advise on the project, financially and technologically.<a href="http://www.greenprophet.com/wp-content/uploads/solar-impulse-plane-3-e1425984958207.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-109351" src="https://www.greenprophet.com/wp-content/uploads/solar-impulse-plane-3-660x442.jpg" alt="solar-impulse-plane-3" width="660" height="442" /></a></p>
