60 MINUTES about Solar Impulse; http://www.cbsnews.com/news/solar-powered-plane-aims-to-fly-around-the-world/
This seems to be the SI 1 project.
They have to fly 83,4 km/h average to make it in 20 days.

A 170 km/h ship and flying only on day time could be faster !?

I was reading about this and how it’s going to fly around the world in one go. But how does the pilot go to the toilet? Nappies? A special seat that converst into a comode? Wouldn’t want the job of emptying that out at the end of the trip.
I think this is 2 seater now ( maybe not )…top speed 140 km/h….previous was 70 km/h !
Look at the wing foil..it is much faster now.
