After 23 days of flight and over 43,041 km travelled, the Solar Impulse 2 has completed a historic mission, completing the world's first, around-the-globe solar flight without using a single drop of fuel.
Piloted by Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg, Solar Impulse 2 first embarked on the 17 leg journey from Abu Dhabi on March 9, 2015. The duo just recently completed their mission because the pilots faced a nine-month delay last year after the plane's batteries were damaged during a flight from Japan to Hawaii.
