BAD weather hindered the round-the-world mission of Solar Impulse 2 for a second day yesterday, as a support team was unable to join the plane in Japan.
The record-breaking aircraft was on the tarmac in Nagoya waiting for a mobile hangar to arrive to protect its delicate technology and huge wings.
But a delayed commercial flight from rain-sodden Shanghai meant many members of the support crew were unable to join pilot Andre Borschberg in Japan.
Aircraft tracking website flightradar24.com said the flight was scheduled to take off at 9:30am, but by mid-afternoon, its status was listed as “unknown.”
