We’ve tracked this solar-powered tub from the proclamation last year, through its first runway tests, past the little bound that counted as its first moody, and rightaway we’ve arrived during the HB-SIA’s initial bonafide test flight. A Solar Impulse, brainchild of one Bertrand Piccard, took a ceiling thrust into the skies yesterday, successfully takingflight to 5,500 feet as well as the speed of 30 knots before gliding down gently as well as calling a total thing an unqualified success. We can find video of a event after the break. THE night test moody is programmed for after this year, after that a bulkier prolongation indication will be cobbled together with the vigilant of reaching a final goal of circumnavigating a creation by 2012.
