                                         Solar Plane

 A team of European engineers made the Solar Plane.

 The Sunseeker Duo is a two-seater airplane that flies on solar power. 

On December 17, 2013 it completed its first flight powered by its own battery.

The Sunseeker Duo's propeller is located on the tail behind the wing, and when the plane switches to gliding the propeller blades fold back.

 Once the pilot reaches a comfortable altitude they are able to turn off the engine and continue gliding, by the solar power.

Favorite Restaurant

   My favorite restaurant is Sanducci's. It is a small local family restaurant located in River Edge NJ. Sanducci's is an Italian restaurant. This restaurant serves all Italian food. They play Italian music throughout the place. My favorite dish from Sanducci's is Chicken Valdastano. It is chicken stuffed with mozzarella cheese and comes with satueed vegtables and mash potatoes.

    Sanducci's is a small family restaurant that is cozy and a nice atmosphere.  This restaurant is a small family business.  The menu has a large variety of basic Italian food and some unique dishes. This is my favorite restaurant because the food is excellent and the service is great. The staff is friendly and always ask if you need anything else. Its a nice place to eat out with your family. Even when the place gets busy the service is always great.
      If this place were to close down I would go to another Italian restaurant. I would go to something similar such as Paisanos. My family and I go to Sanducci's sometimes and when we go I always enjoy the meal and the night. It is a bit noisy but it is fine and it is just because people are enjoying themselves. Sometimes I will get desert too. When I get desert I usually get the lava cake or tartufo, which is ice cream with a chocolate shell. The staff is always friendly and the food is always great. I am never dissapointed when I go there.
