Translation

The Solar Impulse 2 plane has landed in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, more than a year after its initial takeoff, completing the first round-the-world flight to be powered solely by the sun¡¯s energy. The predawn landing on July 26 by pilot Bertrand Piccard marks the end of an epic 40,000-kilometer journey that began on March 5, 2015. The plane made 16 stops, including in India, China, Japan, the U.S., Italy and Egypt. The Swiss-engineered single-seater aircraft is powered by 17,248 solar cells and runs on battery power at night. Its average airspeed was 75 kph, though it flew faster in the brightest part of the day.
