Happy 5th birthday
5th Anniversary of SI Completion RTW Journey
When they achieved the first solar electric flight around the world in Solar Impulse 2, Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg had to take turns in the single-seater cockpit for weight considerations. To celebrate the 5th anniversary of their historic round-the-world voyage, Solar Impulse's co-founders and pilots will share - for the first time - the cockpit of an electric airplane built for commercial applications.
