wow,
what an amazing project for these guys to be working on. It seems a shame its taken so long for ideas like this to get off the ground (pardon the

I guess funding for such a thing would have been hard to come by for various reasons.
If this is successful, what are the chances of this technology being put into space ?

In a world depending on fossil energies, the Solar Impulse project is a paradox, almost a provocation: it aims to have an airplane take off and fly autonomously, day and night, propelled uniquely by solar energy, right round the world without fuel or pollution. An unachievable goal without pushing back the current technological limits in all fields...
