Solar Impulse

Solar Impulse has demonstrated that a solar-powered airplane can fly day and night using no fuel. The next challenge is to fly around the world.

"Our aim is to prove that progress is possible
using clean forms of energy."

Becoming a pioneer is all in the mind. Would you too like to break free of certainties and confront the unknown?
