That plane is bigger than a 747

In order to prove they can do this solely on solar power, there seems to be no facility for him to pedal, which would surely get him exercise and also generate possibly vital emergency extra power for the batteries. Nuts?

yeah though the same thing theres plenty of space on the trunk, roof, hood, on cars to put solar panels

Inshikoku. I was wondering. Why I drive a 1500kg vehicule to move me. Im 79kg. We dont need solar cars. We need bycicles

The plane's wings are covered in solar panels, just like vehicles in solar car races.
I wonder when they will get around to putting solar panels on hybrid and electric cars - these days it seems like a no-brainer.
