Solar Impulse HB-SIA: The solar-powered plane that can fly through the night... and hopefully make it all the way around the world | Mail Online
The world's first solar-powered plane is capable of soaring through the skies without a drop of fuel - even after the sun has set.
The unique design of the Solar Impulse HB-SIA - which has a wingspan greater than a Boeing 747 yet weighs less than some family cars - means it can absorb enough energy during daylight hours to continue flying through the night.
The daring Swiss inventors behind the aircraft are currently getting ready to fly across America in the Solar Impulse in preparation for their long term goal; a solar-powered flight around the world.
