Points to consider and things to remember for the better and clean future from Solar Impulse journey
The world filled with excitement when wright brothers took off for the first time in an airplane and first human Neil Armstrong to set foot on moon. And then we are in the age of rapidly changing technology, the human adventure continues with Solar Impulse – first-ever around the world solar flight with zero fuel.
In 2015 started the attempt of the First Round-The-World Solar Flight, from Abu Dhabi to Hawaii, already achieving the longest solo solar flight ever achieved in aviation history. Across the Round-The-World flight, the team must overcome technical, human and operational challenges that have never been faced before.
Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg, our two Pilots and Founders, will continue to fly around the world with no fuel in 2016. With their solar aircraft, a flying laboratory full of clean technologies, they will continue to promote the use of renewable energies and energy efficiency on the ground, for a better quality of life.

Points to consider in this remarkable journey:
Sustainability - The world need to find new ways of improving the quality of life. Clean technologies and renewable forms of energy are part of the solution. It is a shared vision for sustainability.
If governments had the courage to promote clean technologies on a massive scale, our society could simultaneously reduce its dependence on fossil fuels, create jobs and stimulate sustainable growth. - Bertrand Piccard
Ambitious - The Solar Impulse is not the first solar airplane ever designed, but it is certainly the most ambitious. None of its predecessors has ever managed to fly right through the night with a pilot on board.
Cutting edge technologies - Use of Cutting Edge technologies from the renowned partners like Solvay, Schindler, Omega, ABB and Google etc. The advances systems used by Lightweight landing light system, Energy dispatcher, Dc-dc converter and Warning systems etc.
Team - Two men, both pioneers, innovators and pilots, are the driving force behind Solar Impulse. And the other each of team, trying to build a flying machine for which no benchmark exists, means being confronted constantly with uncertainties and question marks. Their creativity is matched only by the enthusiasm of their commitment. The Solar Impulse team is about 90 people strong, including 30 engineers, 25 technicians and 22 mission controllers, supported financially and technologically by over a hundred partners and advisers.
Building teams is both art and science. The value of talent is created through differences, not similarities. - André Borschberg
- Without complexity, there is no challenge
- Let’s run the world with clean technologies
- The Solar Impulse adventure shows that change is possible. Let’s invent the future: be part of the clean generation!
