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.
