Solar Impulse

Well, it's had its first major delay. It had planned to fly from China to Hawaii on its next leg, but had to stop in Japan. The Solar Impulse is powered only by the sun. Here is its voyage around the world thus far.


The pilot sits in a cockpit that is about the same size as a telephone booth. If the plane doesn't get enough sun during the day, he will have to bail. He can take naps for only twenty minutes and not too many of them.
