We have already told you in the past about Solar Impulse, the first solar-powered airplane. The plane is currently traveling on its penultimate leg, from Seville in Egypt, towards Cairo.
The Solar Impulse solar-powered aircraft took off two days ago from Seville, in southern Spain, towards Cairo. The plane is piloted by the Swiss Andre Borschberg, at the control stick for the last time in this adventure. For approximately 50 hours the plane will fly over the Mediterranean and pass through the skies of Algeria, Tunisia, Italy, Malta and Greece. It should arrive in Cairo on July 13, today, in the middle of the day.
For the seventeenth and final stage, Solar Impulse 2 will be driven by the other Swiss pilot Bertrand Piccard, who will take it to conclude its journey around the world in Abu Dhabi. The journey that lasted months and months will end thus, showing that another way of traveling is possible.
