Solar Impulse aircraft will fly from Brussels to Paris

This plane, as already written earlier, works thanks to solar panels mounted on the wings. Despite the apparent strangeness of the design, it is quite reliable - in any case, this particular aircraft recently made an international flight from Switzerland to Belgium . In addition, Solar Impulse previously lasted more than 26 hours in the air, proving the reliability of its design and the ability to fly at night - the energy accumulated during the day is more than enough.

Of course, departure is possible only in sunny weather, and just today in Belgium this weather. Now the plane flies from Brussels to Paris. Yesterday the plane also took off, but some problems arose, and the pilot decided to return. Today, Solar Impulse should take off, if, of course, the weather is sunny.

The flight should end at Le Bourget, at 23.00 Moscow time. Here the team will leave its brainchild until June 20, when the opening of the International Aviation and Space Salon will take place. Of course, this project will be the "highlight" at the upcoming event.

Interestingly, the developers have set themselves a very serious goal - to fly around on this plane the entire globe, having made a trip around the world. Such a flight, according to the designers, will be possible in 2013-2014, after the design of the Solar Impulse is improved and refined. But now the "sunny" plane shows excellent results.

The flight of the aircraft and the operation of the operations center in real time can be monitored on the project website .
