Recently, there has been a plane that has been travelling without
fuel, from Hawaii to California without any fuel. It’s been flying by using
solar power only. The trip from Hawaii to Northern California took 62 hours,
primarily because the plane has an average speed of 24 miles per hour. It is
the first solar powered plane to travel across an ocean, as well as the first
to travel day and night. This trip is a part of an around-the-world-tour that
began in March 2015.
Although this is extremely eco-friendly and very beneficial
to the environment, I don’t think it’s an efficient travel alternative. The
amount of time it would take to travel to different countries would be insane
and not reasonable. People are better off going on regular fuel powered planes
for time efficiency.
