They did it, again! Bertrand PICCARD and André Borschberg flew electric together, 5 years after the end of the round-the-world flight aboard SI2! Powered by H55
#SolarImpulse Bertrand PICCARD : “Un 5ème anniversaire qui permet de parler de l’avenir ! Désormais on peut faire mieux … #H55 c’est le début d’un mouvement qui se met en place : celui de l’aviation propre 🛩” Prochaine étape l’avion à #hydrogène 😉 #beyond1000solutions
It was so good to be back in electric flight mode with my old partner André Borschberg ! We celebrated the 5th anniversary of our Solar Impulse Foundation adventure by flying in a clean and silent airplane built for Pilot Training H55
5 years ago, #Solar Impulse landed in Abu Dhabi, alternatively piloted by Bertrand PICCARD and myself, concluding our journey around the World.
H55 is proud that its advanced #modular #battery #technology has been selected by Pratt & Whitney to power the hybrid-electric flight demonstrator. In line with H55 strategy, hybrid #propulsion will enable the development of larger and cleaner #airplanes bit.ly/3sL36w6
We’re collaborating with H55 on battery tech for our #Dash8 hybrid-electric flight demonstrator! Along with Collins Aerospace & De Havilland Aircraft of Canada, we're targeting 30%⬆️fuel efficiency &⬇️CO2. Hybrid-electric is a key tech on the path to #flynetzero: prattwhitney.co/3sK9hR1
