Exciting news you may have missed….
A British built, solar powered light aeroplane flew for two days from its own power last week, the BBC announced. The craft, called a zephyr, made two flights of 54 and 33 hours respectively using onboard batteries to store the energy it collected from the sun. Although the aeroplane managed to fly for 54 hours on its longest flight, no official record assessors were there, so the shorter journey has become the world record for the longest solar powered flight instead. Good one team! For more information go to: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci
