Solar Impulse solar plane finally landed in Washington after flying from St. Louis. The plane flight was part of a campaign to support clean energy technologies. The aircraft is scheduled to fly to the United States.
The plane landed at Dulles International Airport at 24:15 local time. Solar Impulse will remain in Washington before completing his last trip to New York beginning next July.
If this experimental aircraft successfully completed its journey as planned, he will be the first solar-powered aircraft that can operate day and night to fly across America.
"This proves the reliability and potential of clean technology. And it is important to convey our message," said the Swiss pilot Bertrand Piccard said in a statement on Sunday (16/6).
