- Five years ago, in 2016, Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg flew around the world without fuel, thanks to the Sun's energy alone, aboard the Solar Impulse 2 solar plane. For its 5th anniversary, this film retraces this exceptional trip.
- Takes you behind-the-scenes of the first solar-fueled flight around the world in Swiss airplane Solar Impulse in which two courageous pilots take turns battling nature, their own crew, and sometimes logic itself, to achieve the impossible.
- This Franco-Swiss film tells the tale of the first ever solar flight around the world as well as the stories of our pilots and co-founders Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg within the pioneering adventure.
- Will it one day be possible to fly aboard a plane, day and night, and to travel round the world with zero pollution? Today, this is not just some crazy project, but a huge human, aeronautical and technological challenge that none believed in - a challenge taken up by famous 'scientific adventurer' Bertrand Piccard together with André Borschberg, pilot and project CEO, and their team: constructing and flying, for 26 hours, an airplane that functions uniquely with solar energy. Called Solar Impulse, the airplane is the size of an Airbus A380 and the weight of a car. Its wings, 64 meters wide, are covered with a 'skin' of solar cells. It can transport a pilot and aims to do a non-stop day-night-day sequence. This incredible story takes us back ten years, to when Bertrand Piccard lands in Egypt after his round-the-world trip in a balloon, and the first notions of a solar plane are outlined, continuing up to André Borschberg's presentation of the HBSIA prototype in June 2009. During the 26-hour flight, we discover, year by year, the extraordinary development of the Solar Impulse adventure.
- Solar Impulse's visionary airplane is capable of flying day and night perpetually without any fuel. This revolutionary technology demonstrates that we can free our planet from dependency on fossil energy.
- Covers the great American crossing with Solar energy. In 2014, Solar Impulse HB-SIA performed the amazing feat of crossing the American continent in 4 months - 5,650 kilometers - in a total flight time of 105 hours and 41 minutes. This film captures the heart of this epic crossing accomplished by the entire Solar Impulse team.
- Solar Impulse, the Swiss solar-powered airplane is the size of an Airbus A380 and the weight of a car, with wings, 64 meters wide, covered with a 'skin' of solar cells. It can carry a pilot and aims to do a non-stop day-night-day sequence.
- The solar airplane Solar Impulse 2 has now successfully made it full circle around the world, proving that clean technologies can really achieve the impossible. Excerpts taken from Solar Impulse, the Impossible World Tour (2016).
- Solar Impulse 2 has been presented on April 9th. The construction of the Swiss experimental solar aircraft didn't happen in a day and many steps had to be taken when you're looking towards attempting the first round-the-world solar flight.
- Will it one day be possible to fly round-the-world with zero pollution? This 4-part mini-series tells the story of solar energy fueled Solar Impulse, a Swiss airplane the size of an Airbus A380 and with the weight of a car.
