Solar Powered Revolution

The Wright brothers first took to the skies in 1903 and aviation technology has continued to evolve in ways they never imagined.  Until recently, sustainable powered flight was limited to combustion engines.  The Solar Impulse crew aims to revolutionize the world with their innovative solar powered airplane and circumnavigate the globe in 2015. 

Their stop in Washington DC was part of a U.S. tour from San Francisco to New York and I had the priveledge of interviewing pilots Piccard and Borschberg at the Smithsonian Air and Space museum in front of the original Wright flyer!  Many thanks to the Embassy of Switzerland for including me in this exciting project.
