Solar Impulse 2 is an airplane with very long wings and is a self-contained type that fly using the power generated by 17,000 solar panels mounted on the wing surface, no need for external energy supply It's an aircraft. Although the weight of the aircraft is about one car, it has a special shape with a longer wing length comparable to a large aircraft, and it turns the propeller by turning the propeller with four motors attached to the wing It is.


The trip around the world began with the take off from Abu Dhabi airport in Dubai early in the morning of March 9, 2015.

Although it was Solar Impulse 2 which landed in Hawaii, it turned out that there was a problem with the installed battery due to trouble in the road.
