Pics of Solar bird - a solar powered aircraft

Repost from Clean Technica  | May 1, 2013

This post is about the flight of solar bird - a solar powered aircraft. It is called Solar Impulse Many things are now possible with solar.  It was invented by a fighter pilot and invested over a 100 million dollars.  It is entirely powered by solar cells and made of carbon fiber.  It is as light as the Wright brothers plane.

It flew from California to JFK airport in New York

It is not a fast or powerful
