Solar Impulse 2: The Airplane That Flew Around the World Without Fuel

The Clean Energy system is actually taking a new dimension , and this time around , the whole world will be shocked.
Imagine a plane flying all the way around the world without using a single drop of fuel.
Well at first , that might seem to be an impossible innovation but the we have to understand that with technology, nothing is impossible.
Well, the Solar Impulse 2, a solar-powered aircraft from Switzerland, made it happen and proved that an innovation like this is possible.
Clean energy is not just a dream , but a powerful reality , This amazing plane just proved it.
Solar Impulse 2 was not an ordinary aircraft. It was as wide as a Boeing 747 jet, but lighter than a car. It had over 17,000 solar panels on its wings. These panels collected sunlight during the day and stored enough energy to keep the plane flying at night too.
It travelled a wide range as far as over 35,000 kilo meters without polluting the environment.
To some, it might just be a test flight but to the rest of the team of engineers, this was a long challenging test that allowed them to take the plane across different countries , test them across different weather conditions. This is not just a record breaker in the aviation industry, but this also pushed the limit.
This is also a proof that the future of aviation could be clean thereby leading to a cleaner planet.
But Solar Impulse 2 was more than just a science project.
I feel a message was passed across the world , to proofs that the solar power has no limitation and can work in an industry no matter how demanding it is. I also believe that Engineers, governments and scientists will be inspired by this and start thinking about how to power the world in a cleaner method
In a period wgere the planet is affected by climate change and environmental pollution, the lates invention (Solar Impulse 2) is a keen reminder that we already have one of the solutions.
So guys , what do you think about this , do you think is a nice innovation and should be flown commercially , or do you think another test is needed.

Done , thank you sir
