Solar Powered Aircraft starts trip across USA


Recommended Posts

I have been watching alternate power in aircraft with great interest, be it solar, diesel or electric.

 

Looks like EU is going Jet and Mogas all the way, perhaps in front of the rumours that the blokes in the UK making the Tetraethyl lead for Avgas are stopping production at the end of the year.

 

I noted the other day that Broken Hill does not have an Avgas truck anymore; no BP card for the bowser, no fuel. The aero club is in the process of getting a card to help people, but plenty are getting caught out. Time for a 98 bowser, me thinks;)

 

I also saw that Pipistrel is talking Hybrid and all electric for the Panthera. Interesting times......
