The 'Solar Impulse', a solar-powered prototype airplane piloted by Solar Impulce CEO Andre Borschberg flies during its first night flight attempt over Switzerland, near Payerne, shortly after sunrise on 08 July 2010. The propeller plane, with a 61-metre (200-foot) 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. The plane landed 08 July morning at the same airfield he used for takeoff near Payerne after staying in the air for 26 hours straight and successfully completing its first night flight.
