Pulse solar system: aircraft snaking the whole world without a drop of fuel!

Did you think that a plane that can roam the world without a single drop of fuel?!

Not witchcraft, but solar energy:



This plane, which bears the name "pulse solar system," able to conduct the first successful flight test last Wednesday, when it flew for 90 minutes at a height of km in the sky of the Swiss countryside, without a drop of fuel!

The reason is that the plane surface covered with 12,000 solar cell to provide energy to adequately flying during the day, and charge their batteries for the Air pm!



Despite the weight of the aircraft does not exceed the weight of small car, but that the presentation of wings equal to the width wings aircraft Boeing 747 jumbo, to be able to get all of the huge number of solar cells.

Working pulse solar power 40 hp engines only, you can pay to fly at speeds of 45 km per hour, (we can call it turtle solar!), And the project will cost about 70 million euros!

May not appeal to this plane form or capabilities (especially when you can race a motorcycle!), But when we look for this project, we must bear in mind that we are talking about the prototype of the hand, and talk about the airplane flying the whole world without a drop of fuel on the other hand, so We have to give the this technology and timely because the future of clean energy is coming.
