The Solar Impulse Takes to the Tarmac For First Time

Evoking similar feelings felt when the Wright Brothers flew their first plane, the Solar Impulse tested the runway for the first time. Planning to eventually take a 20 to 25 day trip around the world, full flight tests will begin next year.

If you view the video below, you can see the revolutionary Solar Impulse take to the tarmac. Clearly a work in progress, once this plane is certified, I'm sure we'll see drastic changes in the travel industry.
