Two Down... Ten To Go!

Solar Impulse 2 has successfully completed the second leg of its historic attempt to fly around the world, setting down in Ahmedabad, India after crossing the Mediterranean Sea. The flight covered 1,468 km and took just over 15 hours.



Tuesday's flight set a new world record for a solar-powered plane

If you visit the Solar Impulse website you can follow their journey with live tracking of the plane over satellite imagery.

Solar Impulse 2 is powered by 2 electric motors & has a
 wingspan greater than a Boeing 747

There are ten more legs to complete before the journey is complete.
