A solar-powered aircraft, European aviation enthusiasts in amazing park in phoenix, Dallas, Washington, d.c., and New York, across the United States tour organizers said on Thursday.
This plane, solar power, is expected to be on May 1, from NASA's Ames research center in mountain view, California in the United States, ready to leave, though, will depend on the weather, the plane of the Swiss creator in NASA said in a news conference center.
Considered the world's most advanced solar powered aircraft, solar power, will stop for 7 to 10 days, in each city's main airport, the pilot can show and discuss the aircraft, journalists, students, engineers, and aviation enthusiasts. It was due to arrive in early July - do not use the Kennedy airport in New York drop under the condition of fuel, says its creator.
Dallas and Washington, dc, the plane will stop in the other three cities: the Atlanta and Nashville, st. Louis, solar power's co-founder, pilots and CEO andrei Mr Shi said. Each leg of the flight will run 20 ~ 25 hours.
"We want to encourage young generation to be pioneers, help them to find and open your passion, he says."
, allowing it to fly day and night no jet fuel is solar power by 12000 photovoltaic cells, including huge wings and the battery. Its wingspan of commercial aircraft, but the weight of the average family car, making it vulnerable to bad weather.
Its creator says, show is the purpose of solar power solar power potential, will never be a substitute fuel for power of commercial flights. Exquisite, single-seat aircraft cruising 40 miles per hour, around couldn't fly through the clouds.
"You fly more energy you have stored in the battery, so it is a beautiful imagine all the people can be the possibility of using these technologies in their daily lives," picard said, co-founder and chairman of the solar power.
In 2010, solar aircraft flight for 26 hours, repeatedly proved that the plane can absorb enough sunlight, keep it in the air after a night. A year later, Belgium and France's first international flights.
Last year, solar power, to make the first transcontinental sailing, travel 1550 miles, from Madrid to Rabat, Morocco, in 20 hours.
In it the coast to the west coast of trip to the United States, will be solar powered flight test, around the bay area on April, officials said.
Picard and Mr Shi's plans to fly around the world in the improved version in 2015.
Picard from adventurer. His late father, Jacques, Marine scientists and engineers further into the ocean than anyone else. His grandfather, auguste, was also an engineer, was the first balloon into the stratosphere.
Bertrand piccard and Brian Jones made history, in 1999, they are in a hot air balloon flight around the earth the first 20 days of continuous 25000 miles.
