History made: Solar plane makes it through night
It’s a momentous achievement—Solar Impulse has made it through its first night flight, running entirely on batteries charged with solar power during the day. It’s the first time a manned plane has done this. WRS’s Conor Lennon spoke to our reporter Tony Ganzer, who has been watching the plane’s progress since it took off on Wednesday morning and we catch the plane’s pilot, André Borschberg, who spoke to us from inside the aircraft in the early hours of this morning.
