A new utopia? A great science fiction scenario? On the contrary, an innovative technological challenge! A project ambi- tious enough to arouse the emotions and unleash passions: to harness clean and renewable energies and use them freely to fly day and night. Is it possible to invent a more responsible future? The only way to find out is to try… with the necessary means. By writing new pages of aviation history using solar energy, Solar Impulse is demonstrating the enormous potential of clean technologies for energy saving and renewable energy production.

In line with the Piccard Family tradition of scientific exploration and protection of the environment, Solar Impulse wants to demonstrate that clean technologies can achieve impossible goals. If an airplane can fly day and night with no fuel, everybody could use these same technologies on the ground to save natural resources. One of our ambitions with Solar Impulse is to challenge conventional thinking to inspire innovation, hope and action among citizens and key opinion leaders.

As they encountered new horizons and each staging post dotted along their way, a whole team was beside them sharing the epic challenge. Their job: to anticipate and develop strategies, to prepare, track and receive the aircraft, and not least to communicate and spread news about the venture.

Flying above the mountainous Chinese provinces of Yunnan and Sichuan required the pilot to perform a steep climb at the beginning of the flight. As he had to fly contin- uously at high altitude, facing temperatures as low as -20 °C, pilot Bertrand Piccard had to wear an oxygen mask in the 3.8 m3 unpressurized cockpit. In addition, tackling the strong low-level winds in Chongqing made this leg one of the most challenging since the start of the round-the-world flight.

After 44 hours of flight, the suddenly pessi- mistic weather forecasts forced the mission control center to divert Si2 to Japan. The bad weather front caught up with the plane and heavy rain fell on the runway just after the landing. Then began the team’s race against time to secure the aircraft against gale-force winds and erect the mobile hangar. After a long night’s efforts, the 20 ground crew had the situation under control. The aircraft was under shelter, but it had absorbed water and the engineers were concerned. The next day, careful checks of all the systems began, but the uncooperative weather was destined to keep Si2 glued to the ground for another month.
