This is an absolutely amazing project. I am used to the political BS, but it this case it is completely off base in every way. Tim, you are interested in aviation, this IS aviation.

The first electrically driven unassisted take off manned flight was in France last year. In a two seat aircraft no less.

This project is designed to be the first non-stop-round-the-world-solar-powered-manned flight. Imagine that.

All of aviation benefits from these efforts. From material science to structural engineering to advance power management.

The comments by some of you are as insightful and informed as toenail fungus.











Sorry about insulting toenail fungus.
