NEW ERA OF FLIGHT SOLAR IMPULSE AIRCRAFT Throughout the centuries‚ scientists have found innovative ways to harness the power of the sun- from magnifying glasses to steam engines. Amid the push to find domestic energy sources that are less polluting than fossil fuel‚ solar energy stands out as the alternative source with the most potential. Assisted by technological innovations‚ two Swiss gentlemen have built a solar aircraft which promises a new generation of flight without burning an ounce
