A solar aircraft that developers hope to eventually pilot around the globe landed safely on Thursday in Texas, completing the second and longest leg of an attempt to fly across the United States powered only by the sun.
The spindly Solar Impulse touched down at Dallas/Forth Worth International Airport at 1am local time, logging 18 hours and 21 minutes in the air to cover 1,541 kilometers from Arizona.
The flight set a new absolute world distance record in solar aviation, organizers said. Solar Impulse, which flies at an average speed of just 69km per hour, began its cross-country sojourn on May 3 with an 18-hour-plus flight from northern California to Phoenix.
