NEW YORK, (APP/AFP) – The sun-powered Solar Impulse 2 aircraft set off from New York’s JFK airport early Monday, embarking on the transatlantic leg of its record-breaking flight around the world to promote
renewable energy, according to a live feed on the organisers’ website.
The flight, piloted by Swiss adventurer Bertrand Piccard, is expected to take about 90 hours — during which Piccard will only take short naps — before landing at Spain’s Seville airport.
