Our congratulations go to Bertrand Piccard, André Borschberg and all the Solar Impulse team for the successful round-the-world flight in a solar aircraft, an amazing human and technological feat.
The prowess achieved by Solar Impulse is so far in advance of its time that we probably cannot measure its importance today. We believe that the Solar Impulse flight will go down in the annals of the history of technology as the first step towards electric aviation that is energy-efficient.
As a specialized partner, P&TS has followed this project very closely and is all the more pleased with its successful outcome which contributes to the promotion of renewable energies and therefore is in line with P&TS’s aim to promote these technologies, in particular through our fund for aid to ethical innovation.
