Solar Impulse: 90 Minutes, Zero Gallons of Fuel...and That's Just the Start

Tired of paying for avgas? Me too. The Solar Impulse project is trying to showcase and encourage the technology that will eventually help us abandon avgas. The project has great support and they've been very open about their progress. The Solar Impulse aircraft made it's first full flight on April 7th. Everything went well and it was in the air for over 90 minutes.

Congratulations to the Solar Impulse team! It is wonderful to see this gorgeous aircraft flying. It is a feat of engineering and we're looking forward to watch you break every record out there.
