It’s April 9 2010, the new sun-powered Solar Impulse HB-SIA air plane just took off a runway in Paverne, Switzerland, on its first flight, or maiden voyage. Over the next 87 minutes, it went up to 1,200 meters, which really is very high up in the sky. This is a very green invention that will be powerful and helpful, for our future, no contamination at all. The aircraft is capable of achieving night flight, by using energy stored during the day. The airplane was tested to make sure that it would work, so that nothing wrong would come from it during flight; a smooth first flight because of maintenance. CNN spoke with the Solar Impulse Chairman and initiator, Bertrand Piccard. At first indication, the aircraft went even higher than was expected. According to Mr. Piccard, this technology can forever change solar energy as we know it. So, what we can take from this, is that solar energy will always be able to help us achieve what we want in a natural and clean way.
Our comment over the matter is that, this notion of starting with solar energy is a big leap for man kind. We know this, because solar energy has no pollution emissions , so we now know that solar energy is good for all of us. We can’t forget to use it!
