A solar powered plane trip around the world may soon leave the realms of science fiction and become reality. 'Solar Impulse', a 1500 kilogram solar plane with a 61 meter wing span, will be undergoing its first test flight in April next year according to the team's project communication head Phil Mundwiller.
This will be followed by the round the world attempt in May 2011, commencing with a crossing of the US and the Atlantic. The plane is also expected to go into commercial production in 2011
