With nearly 12 thousand and four solar cell-powered electric fans, the "Solar Ambols," is the first aircraft in the world can fly without any fuel, day or night.
The width of such a solar plane 63 meters, and weighs 1600 kg, has already managed to break the record, and remain in the air for 26 hours straight in 2010.
But it is more than just a flight only, as the pilot sees Andre Borcberg, as he says he "wants to make it clear to all what can be done to these technologies."
"We can maintain our quality of life and reduce our energy consumption, and reduce our dependence on oil and nuclear energy."
The production aircraft "Solar Ambols," the brainchild of Bertrand Piccard, the first man to fly non-stop around the world in a balloon. "
Pickard said the epic journey that took place in 1999, "We almost fail due to lack of fuel .. In that moment, made a commitment to fly the next time without any fuel at all, and so was born the idea of the solar plane."
After nearly seven years he met his partner Borcberg Pickard, and began to fulfill the pledge made by himself, with a budget of $ 134 million, and a project to achieve their goal of flying around the world without fuel in 2014, for the first time in aviation history.
