Story:
Switzerland, (4/8/10) - The world's first solar powered plane took off on Thursday. The plane flew for 87 minutes and went up as high as almost 4000 feet. The plane is called the 'Solar Impulse' and is powered by 12,000 solar cells. This means that the plane uses no gas, instead it uses energy from the sun.

It took seven years to build the Solar Impulse. The program that built the plane was started by Bertrand Piccard, who was the first guy to go around the world non-stop in a hot air balloon. He wants this plane to go around the world in 2012.

The Solar Impulse has one seat, goes at about 45 miles per hour and weighs about the same as the average car.
