Solar Impulse - European Solar Flights - Take Off

[TaviYamato]

Europe will once again make history , fuck the usa pigs

[shafrazuk]

wwoowwww grate

おおう、かっちょいっス！

great!　I wonder why this plane can fly in such slow speed.

Solar plane should use battery as additional power at taking off.

When it flies high above cloud, enough sunshine will come to the solar cells.

[MrALHADHRAMI]

@JumpooMouse wow what an idea !!

[Mr5eXLove]

it almost flys backwards xD

[Riesenpuller]

slow. not much faster than a cyclist lol

[MrJohn1966elliott]

How many km of very high near space ?

[hondaaccourd5]

cool but impractical

[cool2t]

uhmm.....what if there is no sun?how did u guys regulate the power?did u guys use fuel to kick start the engine and solar power to keep it steady? did it ever land? lol

oh man if this really works its gonna be amazing, no doubt we can make it to the moon with no problems, even to mars if they can just figure it out how to store the energy.

good work btw

[yoshyoka]

@cool2t you're either making fun or you really have no idea of what you're talking about..

[cool2t]

@yoshyoka nope i was serious. the did it ever land question was a joke, thats why i put an lol beside it

[yoshyoka]

@cool2t Well, an electric engine does not need to be kick started, solar power is not steady at all so you need to rely on batteries for power management. If there is no sun there are two options: 1 you fly over the clouds, 2 it means it is night and you did some miscalculations with your route and flying schedule.

If it works... it's not that amazing at all: it needs an incredibly light structure fore an extreme wing surface (for the panels). In other words, it has no real usefulness.

that looks awfully slow

[karvahanuri]

I see the commercial intercontinental flights powered by sun are just around the corner..maybe..meh, who am i kidding this was crap.

[Immerspher]

A small step for you, a gaint leap for me

[mrfuzzles92]

its hard to tell if its flying or floating!

[ArianeMaldonado901]

type MYPRIZE in place of YOU in youtube then hit enter

THE NEW BUG KILLER ROBOT IS IN THE VIDEO blop75 .

[SharpenedSpirit]

SUDDENLY... AN ECLIPSE !

[johan6693]

that plane must be real light cause those 4 propellers dont seam to be giving in much thrust

[Drrck11]

That is amazing. It truly time for solar energy to become fuel source of the world.

[khalid01234]

what an achievement

amazing 

[yaHARmeMATEY]

eco friendly but slow as hell

[adelosik]

TUPOLEW się przy tym chowa ;d

[H2O0O2H]

historic day 

[bossross209]

all that plane and only one man?

[TheWorldiLivein]

2hp

[DMGDx]

well performed

[kevagain]

Amazing

[amiurg]

Bravo.

[framewalk]

I would love to ride in a quiet and graceful plane like this.

When the first airplanes took off, could they have imagined how fast planes would evolve?

Could they have imagined then, what planes look like today and how frequently we use them?

After your flight today, it will be even more interesting to wonder what changes will occur in our near future.

You're making human history!

Nice video. By the way: the engine sound at 1:12 comes from a car and not from the solar airplane of course. ;-)
