It looks like the Solar Impulse project is on track, whereby a group of ambitious people were put together to build a solar powered aircraft that can circle the globe without having to land for pit stops.
Nevertheless, the Solar Impulse will soon be captained by Bertrand Piccard – sound pretty much like Captain Piccard from Star Trek, right? On the other hand, the Solar Impulse comes with the wingspan of an Airbus, and it only weighs as heavy as a car.
Of course, the Solar Impulse will have its first attempt to circle the globe on 2012.
