Solar Impulse out of Switzerland are putting the finishing touches on the first solar-powered airplane – capable of a round the world flight.  As you can see the wingspan is very long – about 200 feet and 12,000 solar cells charge batteries that control four engines.  Sounds cool, but were not going to get on this until it is thoroughly tested. LOL!
