There's not much to the article, but I'd bet a Google search would reveal more info for those who are interested.

Re: Solar Airplane Article
Sounds neat.
5 stops around the world at about 5000 miles each run and fly through the night ? Didn't say anything about battery storage, assuming Li-Po batteries are used. And it would have to fly above the clouds to capture 100% sun during certain times of the day when it needs to follow the sun. Speed average to maintain sun is about 1037mph. They didn't say how fast it was going, however.Nature's Design & Green Energy on FaceBook : Stop by and "Like" us anytime.. Many up-to-date articles about Renewables every day.
