The Plane That Flew Around the World Without a Drop of Fuel
Built in Switzerland, the Solar Impulse 2 became the world’s first aircraft to circle the globe powered only by sunlight — no fuel, no emissions, just pure innovation.
Visionaries Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg designed this solar-powered giant, which flew 40,000 km across oceans and continents, day and night, using 17,000 solar cells to power its silent electric engines. ⚡
It wasn’t just a flight — it was a message to the world:
💡 Clean energy can go the distance.
Solar Impulse 2’s journey inspired global research in solar propulsion, lightweight materials, and energy-efficient aviation, proving that sustainability and exploration can soar together. 🌞💚
