A Solar Impulse aircraft takes off at Payerne airport May 24, 2012,
piloted by André Borschberg. The Solar Impulse HB-SIA prototype
aircraft, which has 12,000 solar cells built into its jumbo-jet-sized
wings (about 200 feet long), attempted its first intercontinental flight
from Switzerland to Morocco with a few days for a technical stop and a
change of pilot in Madrid. This flight will act as a final rehearsal for
the 2014 round-the-world flight.
