Solar-powered Plane - A Reality!

Such plane can help lower the consumption of fuel.

Nice post.

Nice image use for explanation.

It's a great step towards tapping this unconventional source of energy.

Yes Chinmoy --- Have seen this on news. This is very superb invention that would run at nights too. No engine, No fuel... :)

Wonderful Invention!!!

This is a great breakthrough!! Installing solar panels is actually a very costly affair, but I guess those who can afford to they should definitely go for such equipments!!

It's costly at the moment and the wider applications and mass production would definitely bring down the cost in future.

GREAT IDEA...IT WILL LOWER FUEL CONSUMPTION..EXCELLENT INVANSION

The Solar Impulse project is pursuing the objective of circumnavigating the Earth powered only by sunlight. The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) has played a significant role in the development of this visionary flying technology platform, which has now been awarded the Braunschweig Research Prize.
