Solar Impulse1.st Int.Flight




The solar energy powered experimental airplane landed on runway 02 at Brussels Airport at 9:38 pm. The Solar Impulse team as well as Belgocontrol, that ensured the safety of the solar airplane within the Belgian airspace and during the delicate landing phase, succeeded to meet this big challenge.

Solar Impulse, l’avion expérimental à énergie solaire, a décollé de Payerne en Suisse ce
vendredi 13 mai 2011 à destination de Bruxelles pour boucler son premier vol international. Il
s’agit d’une prouesse technique pour l’équipe de Solar Impulse mais également d’un défi tout
à fait inédit pour Belgocontrol qui assure la sécurité du trafic aérien.

Das nur mit Sonnenergie angetriebene Flugzeug Solar Impulse HB-SIA ist heute Abend nach 12 Stunden und 59 Minuten Flugdauer um 21:39 Uhr (UTC +2) erfolgreich am Flughafen Brüssel gelandet. Das Solarflugzeug von Bertrand Piccard und André Borschberg wurde von einer jubelnden Menschenmenge empfangen, die seine Ankunft in der europäischen Hauptstadt feierte.
