Swiss solar plane makes maiden flight
A SOLAR-POWERED airplane took off on its first major test flight on Wedesday morning, from an airfield in western Switzerland.
The flight of the plane, named Solar Impulse, comes ahead of plans to use a similar solar-powered plane to fly around the world in 2012.
"We want to demonstrate what can be achieved with renewable energy" Bertrand Piccard, the man behind the project, was quoted by the Swiss ATS news agency as saying.
The plane has the wing span of an Airbus A340, the weight of an average car, and is powered by some 12,000 solar cells. The Solar Impulse-also the name of the project behind the plane- is "the first aircraft designed to fly night and day without fuel or polluting emissions".😁😁
