Solar Impulse to now fly 2,500km to Morocco using only solar energy!

We’ve been following the exploits of the sugary green Solar Impulse since quite a while now, covering test flights and benchmarks set by this marvel of modern day technology. Now, the evergreen air traveler will land in the Kingdom of Morocco. For the first time ever, the Solar Impulse will be flown for a good 2,500km by Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg, each taking turns to fly this solar-powered airplane without using any fossil fuels whatsoever. With a round-the-world flight planned for 2014, this flight to Morocco crossing the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean will prove to the world the usability of solar energy in the aviation industry today.

We wish the Solar Impulse a safe and successful journey as it continues to inspire and awe the world with its green-as-a-leaf mentality, flying with solar energy.
