On Solar Wings Around the World
Solar Impulse 2, a solar powered plane that started its historic round-the-world journey in Abu Dabhi, Arab Emirates, in March 2015, made a 4:00 a.m. landing at New York’s JFK Airport on June 11 after a triumphant circle over the Statue of Liberty. Weighing slightly more than a family car, Solar Impulse 2 has the wingspan of a commercial airliner and is making the round-the-world trip without a drop of fuel.
