Solar-powered airplane completes trans-America flight: "Solar Impulse – the solar-powered airplane of Swiss pioneers Bertrand Piccard and AndrĂ© Borschberg – has successfully landed at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport. In so doing, it begins a new era in the history of aviation: for the first time, a plane capable of flying day and night powered exclusively by solar energy has crossed the USA from the west to the east coasts, without using a single drop of fuel."
