As a leader delivering sophisticated renewable energy projects around the world, Masdar is a natural partner for such an innovative endeavour, which underscores the viability of solar technology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Acknowledging earlier solar flight efforts, such as those by Fred To, Larry Mauro and Eric Raymond, Andre\u2019 Borschberg, Solar Impulse co-founder and CEO, explains the heavy emphasis on pilot training and conditioning leading to the big flight.\u00a0 \u201cSolar Impulse is not the first solar airplane, however it is the first able to cross oceans and continents\u00a0<b>\u2013\u00a0<\/b>remaining in the air for several days and nights in a row without landing.\u00a0 But now we have to ensure the sustainability of the pilot in order to complete the route; Solar Impulse 2 must accomplish what no other plane in the history of aviation has achieved &#8211; flying without fuel for 5 consecutive days and nights with only one pilot in the unpressurized cockpit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Solar Impulse 2 and its crew of 80 technicians, engineers and a communications team will not only prepare the big craft for its epic voyage, but meet with students, engineers, and government officials to help them understand the significance of the technology and the adventure.<\/p>\n<p>Bertrand Piccard explained the importance of using the sun-drenched locale as a start and end point for the flight. \u201cMasdar and Abu Dhabi are setting an example for the entire world, promoting the use of diverse, sustainable and clean energy sources by deploying some of the globe\u2019s most sophisticated renewable energy projects. Most importantly, Masdar shares our unwavering commitment to ensuring a cleaner future for our planet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We will be able to follow the minute-by-minute progress of the trip, and \u201cDuring stopovers, the Solar Impulse team will organize meetings, airplane visits and Google Hangouts On Air in order to promote the mission\u2019s message and highlight innovative technical solutions to climate change.\u201d\u00a0 In these efforts, Solar Impulse may help to sway those not yet involved with a clean energy future.\u00a0 Certainly, the silent wings passing overhead have the power to awe observers, and will trace a line of millions of new believers along its course.<\/p>\n<div id=\"facebook_like\"><iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fcafe.foundation%2Fblog%2Fsolar-impulse-2-readiness-around-world-flight%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=500&amp;action=like&amp;font=segoe+ui&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:500px; height:80px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reassembled and ready, Solar Impulse 2 stands ready to leave Abu Dhabi on an historic around-the-world flight within the next month, according to the project\u2019s latest announcements.\u00a0 When HB-SIB leaves Abu Dhabi, it will cross two oceans and four continents before returning to its departure point.\u00a0 The trip will include landings in 12 locations and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,14],"tags":[5836,5594,4615,98,2988,5837,137,1469,2607,5595,5839,1206,1208,4968,917,1205,3815,5838,183],"class_list":["post-9606","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-electric_powerplants","category-sustainable_ga","tag-abb","tag-abu-dhabi","tag-altran","tag-andre-borschberg","tag-around-the-world-flight","tag-bayer","tag-bertrand-piccard","tag-google","tag-hb-sib","tag-masdar","tag-moet-hennessy","tag-omega","tag-schindler","tag-solar-impulse-2","tag-solar-powered-aircraft","tag-solvay","tag-swiss-re-corporate-solutions","tag-swisscom","tag-united-arab-emirates"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
