Solar Impulse, Across America

This documentary-film is the story of their incredible American epic.

In the footsteps of aviation pioneers like the Wright brothers and Charles Lindbergh, Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg underwent the coast-to-coast challenge, namely 5600 kms, to spread a message. By flying from San Francisco to New York powered solely by the sun, the two pilots could demonstrate how pioneering spirit, innovation and clean technologies can change the world.

Solar Impulse is the only airplane of perpetual endurance, able to fly day and night on solar power, without a drop of fuel. After completing several missions in Europe and Morocco, and before its attempt of the First Round-The-World Solar Flight in 2015, Solar Impulse has completed the historic crossing of the United States, west to east, over a 2-month period in the summer of 2013.
