Solar Powered Plane

Right now, a solar powered plane is en-route to fly by Atlantic City on its way to New York from Dulles International Airport.  This is the final leg of a history- making cross country flight.

The plane is flying at an altitude of about a mile and a half with an air speed of 25 knots or about 28 miles an hour.  The "Solar Impulse" is powered by some 11,000 solar cells and seats a single pilot, Andre Borschberg.

The public can track the progress of the flight to New York  and see its future flight path via live video on the Solar Impulse website:   http://live.solarimpulse.com/
