Would you get on a plane powered by the sun? Well someday it might be reality. Here technicians and mechanics stand beside the solar-powered, 200-foot wingspan Solar Impulse HB-SIA prototype airplane on a tarmac at the airport in Duebendorf near Zurich in early November. The prototype completed initial series of stationary tests involving its four engines and the electromagnetic interference. (Arnd Wiegmann /Reuters)
