a piloted, solar-powered aircraft that was capable of high-altitude and long-endurance fl ights (Noth, 2008). Th e last big step in aircraft powered by solar energy is the fi rst fl ight of twin-engine Solar Impulse airplane on December 3rd, 2009 (Solar Impulse, 2013). Solar Impulse is a long-range solar powered plane project currently being Solar Impulse 2: In 2011, the Solar Impulse program began working on building its second eponymous aircraft and completed it in three years. Solar Impulse 2 featured many advanced technologies and specifications that were not in its predecessors like an autopilot system and an oxygen mask, enabling the airplane to fly at an altitude that can This resulted in the plane reaching altitudes nearly 10,000 feet higher (at 80,000 feet) and carrying an extra 68lbs of machinery. [2] Leaders in Solar Plane Development. While NASA and its affiliates have and continue to conduct much research, Solar Impulse Clean Technologies appear to be winning the race to more effective solar-powered planes. André Borschberg is the CEO of Solar Impulse; he put together the technical team and supervised the airplane's design and construction. Due to his extensive experience as a pilot, he first took control of Solar Impulse and completed the first night flight using solar energy back in July 2010. Today, Swiss engineers unveil the Solar Impulse HB-SIA prototype plane. As the name suggests, the plane is designed to fly solely on solar power, and its next trick will be a 36-hour test flight early next year. That's one compete day and one complete night fueled only by rechargeable batteries and sunlight. This is only the beginning! We develop clean technologies and it is a new opportunity to demonstrate how chemistry and innovation bring profitable and sustainable solutions to tackle the world's environmental and health challenges. Celebrating Solar Impulse Foundation 1000+ solution milestone. Solvay shows that solutions that improve the By writing a new page of aviation history with solar energy, by way of a round-the- world flight without fuel or pollution, Solar Impulse is determined to actively promote the cause of renewable energies and the energy efficiency that new technologies are offering. Paper Airplane is an Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) data analytics business utilizing sensors and proprietary algorithms to assess and inspect critical infrastructure to perform predictive failure modeling. This analysis allows our clients to lower operating cost, reduce capital expenditures, extend life of assets and reduce environmental impact. The single-seat cockpit of the plane that will fly around the world is tiny (3.8 cubic meters/134 cubic feet), but it's actually three times larger than the cockpit of the first Solar Impulse plane. (In fact, the new cockpit is so much roomier that the Solar Impulse web site jokingly claims that the company has "upgraded the pilot to busi- 1 OPTIMAL TRAJECTORY DEPENDENCE ON THE ATMOSPHERE MODEL FOR THE SUN-POWERED AIRPLANE Sergey V.
