SCHWEIZ PROJEKT SOLAR IMPULSE
Bertrand Piccard (R), pilot and president of Solar Impulse and Andre Borschberg (L), CEO and pilot of the company, congratulate German test pilot Markus Scherdel, centre, after solar-powered Solar Impulse HB-SIA prototype airplane's first flight over Payerne, western Switzerland, Wednesday April 7, 2010. The propeller plane, with a 61 metres (200 feet) wingspan, is powered by four electric motors and designed to fly day and night by saving surplus energy from its 12,000 solar cells in high-performance batteries. Wednesday's flight follows six years' work by 50 engineers and technicians led by Swiss adventurer Bertrand Piccard on the so-called Solar Impulse project. (KEYSTONE/REUTERS POOL/Christian Hartmann)
