Solar Impulse

My former teacher recently sent me a postcard about Solar Impulse. Since I did not know what Solar Impulse is, I made a quick research about it.

Here is the postcard:

Solar Impulse is a Swiss long-range, ultra-lightweight solar powered aircraft project.The aircraft accomplished its travel from coast to coast in the USA. The co-founders are Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg. To build this aircraft they had to incorporate knowledge in: material science, energy management and man-machine. According to the co-founder, the purpose of the aircraft is not to carry passengers but to send a message. The message they want to deliver is to change peoples minds about renewable energy. They feel people should be encouraged to use available technological solutions to protect the environment. Additionally, it can create jobs and open a new market.
