Solar Plane

Dr. Bertrand Piccard, who flew non-stop round the world in a balloon in 1999 has revealed plans for a round the world flight in a solar powered plane. A prototype the Solar Impulse HB-SIA has been unveiled in Zurich according to the BBC, which will be used to test the capabilities of the plane flying at night. A test flight across the Atlantic in 2012 is planned once the final version of the plane is complete, which will then be used to fly around the globe.
