Official: Solar plane to help energy use on ground
BY SETH BORENSTEIN, AP
CHANTILLY,
Va. (AP) — The nation's energy secretary says a solar-powered plane
that landed outside Washington early Sunday will one day offer a payoff
for people on the ground.
The
spindly one-man craft called Solar Impulse has been flying
cross-country in short hops as part of a 13-year privately funded
European project. U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz praised
the effort at a news conference Monday at Dulles International airport where the plane landed.
He
said the plane's cutting-edge technology will improve energy use in
cars and buildings by leading to better solar cells and batteries,
electric motors, lightweight material and general
efficiencies.
The plane, which left St. Louis on Friday, will finish its test flight across America later this month when it files to New York
(shades of captain planet!!!! A Solar Powered Airplane!!! We are definitely living in the future.)
