A World Flight Against Climate Change
Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg are flying around the world to spread the word about climate change and the danger it imposes.

During the day, the panels power the plane but also charge two lithium ion batteries that fly the craft at night.
“You fly with no fuel, you have clean technology that make the airplane so efficient,” Piccard said, “that only the Sun is enough to keep it airborne day and night.”
