ORIGINAL: blnymph You 'll be surprised that 19 % of a whole country's electrical power is supplied by wind and solar energy now, and growing. The first solar powered airplane has completed a round the globe trip. yes, it did, and the aircraft was a brillaint advertisement for carbon fiber composites and ultralight material. after that, nothing. The aircraft did not use batteries, could only fly in daylight hours or periods of sunlight, clouds grounded it, so other than a neat stunt, what exactly did it prove? I agree, a neat stunt, as was long distance flying as such when it started. Just some evidence that photoelectric panels could drive real plane propellers instead of toy ones - for the moment.
