UAE-SWITZERLAND-FLIGHT-SOLAR-IMPULSE

Emirati men stand near the Solar Impulse 2, the first solar-powered plane to be able to fly for several days and nights, on January 20, 2015 at an Abu Dhabi airport, on the sidelines of the eighth edition of the World Future Energy Summit. The plane with the top speed of a racing pigeon, 50 and 100 km/h (30-60 mph), is set to embark on a landmark round-the-world flight using nothing but the sun's energy to power it, organisers said today. Its route, which was unveiled today in Abu Dhabi, begins in the Emirate and includes stops in Oman, India, China, Hawaii and New York. It will take around 25 days of total flying time.
