According to foreign media reports on the 26th, the solar aircraft Solar Impulse 2 after nearly 17 hours of flight, a range of 1044 kilometers, completed the 13-segment voyage of the global voyage. "Sunshine Power 2" took off from Dayton International Airport in Ohio at 4:02 am Eastern time on May 25, and landed at Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania at 8:49 pm. On May 25th, local time, the world's largest solar aircraft "Sunshine Power 2" took off from Ohio to Pennsylvania, and the pilot Bertrand Picard played in the air. On the morning of the 24th, the fan power failure caused the hangar to deflate. During the deflation process, the hangar gently touched the parts of the aircraft, causing the trip to Dayton, Ohio to Allentown, Pennsylvania, to be postponed for one day. "Sunshine Power 2" took off from Abu Dhabi last year and plans to complete a week-long flight around the Earth without using any fuel. It was the Swiss pilot Bertrand Piccard who drove the plane from Dayton to the Lehigh Valley. According to the plan, "Sunshine Power 2" will depart for New York in the next few days. Upon arrival in New York, the plane will be there to wait for the best weather opportunity to fly across the Atlantic. Deciding when to fly across the Atlantic will be critical, because Sunshine Power 2 is slow and has a light body that cannot withstand strong winds. The flight team said that maybe they will not encounter the right time in a few weeks.
