SOURIAU Provides Composite Connectors for Revolutionary Solar Impulse Aircraft

SOURIAU is providing power and signal electrical composite connectors for the revolutionary Solar Impulse solar powered aircraft, which completed a 26-hour non-stop flight in July 2010 and is working up to circle the earth without fuel only propelled by solar energy.

Through a partnership agreement Solar Impulse uses SOURIAU composite connectors to supply and monitor the 4 electrical motors powered with solar panel and high performances battery.

Manufactured at SOURIAU Champagné facility, these connectors are made of composite material with a special metallisation in order to be the lightest possible but also to ensure the highest EMI protection performances.

The Solar Impulse aircraft flew though a full night relied solely on solar energy and produced no environmentally harmful emissions.

The partnership with Solar Impulse is a reflection of the technical innovation spirit that exists in SOURIAU. SouriauBEAU Jean-Claude jbeau@souriau.com
