Plane on solar energy Solar Impulse has started its last flight – Interfax

He completes his world tour in Abu Dhabi

Moscow. July 24. INTERFAX.RU – Pilot Bertrand Piccard flew the plane on solar energy Solar Impulse, which 48 hours must fly from Cairo to Abu Dhabi, where he completed a world tour, reports BBC

This flight should be. simple enough, although the team has some concerns about how the warm weather in the Middle East could affect the movement of the aircraft.

The pilot is likely to have to climb high above the ground to neutralize the turbulence caused by the heat. This aircraft will spend more energy than usual, which means it will be less at night.

“We thought it would be easy to fly, because between Egypt and Abu Dhabi and the entire Saudi Arabia is always good weather, but in fact turned out to be very difficult to find a good strategy, “-. said the pilot
