The Future of Solar Aircraft is Here

Developed in Switzerland, the Solar Impulse 2 stands as the world’s largest solar-powered aircraft, achieving a historic milestone by completing a 40,000-kilometer journey around the globe powered solely by solar energy.

With an impressive 72-meter wingspan and over 17,000 solar cells integrated into its wings, this pioneering project demonstrated that long-distance flight is possible without fossil fuels.

Over 505 days, the aircraft visited 17 countries and set a record with a remarkable 118-hour nonstop flight segment. This groundbreaking achievement not only revolutionized the future of sustainable aviation but also showcased the extraordinary potential of green technology, inspiring future generations to embrace renewable energy solutions.
