夜半月思窈窕

early human imagination about the flight, the sun is a danger. In a famous Greek mythology, Athens craftsman Daedalus to escape detention, and his son Icarus together with bird feathers, ropes and waxes wings strapped to his body, fly trapped their island; but When Icarus flying high, gradually approaching the sun, the sun melted the wax, so that discrete feathers, Icarus fell into the sea and therefore drowned, so Daedalus grief.

hot sun let Daedalus flight attempt to become the tragedy, but for the Swiss adventurer Bertrand Pickart (Bertrand Piccard), if not seeing the sun in flight, I am afraid this is fatal. In his next leap in the Atlantic and around the world plan, his "transport" will be a solar-powered aircraft, the aircraft used in flight energy, will be 100% rely on the sun to obtain.

6 26, Bertrand Piquett airport in Zurich, Switzerland, to showcase this aircraft rely on solar-powered aircraft as a whole. This aircraft spotted past tiny, slender, wings and tail are kept on a layer overlying film solar panels in general. The panels will convert sunlight into electricity,gucci型號定價, not only allow aircraft continued flying in the daytime, at night, down by solar panels save energy also support aircraft continued its journey.

This is a world's first solar-powered aircraft. Pickart named it the "Solar Impulse" (SolarImpulse) planes. Test drive will be conducted at the end of the year, after the test drive, Pickart solar-powered aircraft will fly this journey,gucci新款包包, from the Atlantic to the whole world, flying toward the sun rewrite Daedalus experience.

able to fly at night and solar-powered aircraft

now "Solar Impulse" has not been a test drive, it was exhibited in there quietly, just a prototype. In the end of the year, people do not see it really look like flying in the air, but for the development of this aircraft Piquett team of scientists, or according to detailed simulation data to produce a variety of "Solar Impulse" mimic diagram in the air . In the simulation figure, "Solar Impulse" look very different and ordinary airliner. Its cabin is very small and can only accommodate two pilots; while extremely long wingspan that looks like a skinny dragonfly, unlike other aircraft, fancy as birds.

"Solar Impulse" wingspan 63.4 meters long, with a wingspan of almost 747. But the former body length of only 21.8 m, height of only 4 meters. This design is to allow the aircraft to absorb as much solar energy and converting it into electrical energy, but at the same time the weight of the aircraft must be strictly limited, so aircraft flying smoothly.

final aircraft weight was controlled at 1500 kg, the equivalent of the same size,Switzerland, the world's first solar-powered airplane airport debut - Living - Fashion, and it is the fifth glider weight. Aircraft structural design is very clever, and the principles of our kites bit like, but a lot of subtlety. First, the R & D team scientists as this "kite" Make skeleton: they are some of the honeycomb structure made of carbon fiber material, like a sandwich or as a sandwich structure, then these structures as a unit, consisting of aircraft backbone; Then they the skeleton of the plane covered with a special plastic film, finally, the surface of these films, 12000 photocell is implanted in the aircraft wing and tail. The photocell can be 22% of the light energy into electricity, enough to power support the "Solar Impulse" On a clear windless weather, with 70 km / h speed flight, up to 8500 m altitude.
