Description

The Solar Impulse is a single-person solar-powered aircraft. It runs on energy produced by 12,000 solar cells that power its propellers. The plane can fly at night by reaching a high elevation of 27,000 feet (8,230 meters) and then gently gliding downward, using almost no power until the sun comes up to begin recharging its solar cells.VIDEOGRAPHIC
