Nice smooth take-off, where was the "hop"? I was expecting the nose wheel to thrust down suddenly.

Clearly this is wrong.

but we have already had a solar flight. Whats the significance?

Solar Impulse will fly around the world while performing multiple day and night cycles. It also will be steered by one or two pilots.

Nice, but a flight test and no video of Christoph. :-(

Amazing - more than a flea hop for mankind! A great inspiration - thx to the team :-)

Awesome. As important as those first hops at Kittyhawk! Good one Deutch bank!
