Solar Impulse Solar Aircraft Sky Europe Pass
Solar Impulse Solar Aircraft Sky Europe Pass Still remember the longest flight record holder aircraft without fossil fuels, the Solar Impulse HB-SIA? This aircraft is solar-powered aircraft in early July last year, was able to fly for 26 hours nonstop, without fuel pure and simply rely on solar power. Just a note, an unmanned solar aircraft had been present since about the 1980s. However, the Solar Impulse flight performed live while carrying a pilot, namely Andre Borschberg, one of the research project leader. Flight, as reported Discovermagazine, December 20, 2010, made possible after researchers put 12 thousand photovoltaic cells on the tail and the wings that reach 64 meters in length. Photovoltaic cells that transmit extra energy to the battery during the day and was able to supply power to the four existing propeller to keep working at night. Not satisfied with these achievements, Tim HB-SIA is now beencana to circumnavigate the globe with this solar powered aircraft. Plans to pa...
