Last Leg for Solar Impulse 2

On a mission to circumnavigate the world on purely solar power, the world’s largest solar powered aircraft, Solar Impulse 2, has now reached the last leg of it’s circular journey. The round the world tour will end with it’s final flight from Cairo in Egypt to the starting point in Abu Dhabi.

The journey which began in March 2015 is finally going to culminate. This is the 17th flight of the aircraft in it’s monumental journey. Pilots Piccard and Andre have been sharing the flying duties on this remarkable trip. The two are best friends and business partners in this extraordinary venture.

The Solar Impulse 2 has covered around 30,000 km in its quest to become the first plane to circle the world using  just solar energy. Needless to say this trip has place of honour in not just the record books, but also in history!
