Despite headwinds and strong gusts the plane crossed the Alps at an altitude of more than 3000m and landed after about two hours and 190km flight as planned at the airfield in Zell am See.
The emission and noise free flight was made possible by 280 solar cells on the wing surface of the ultralight airplane and a 11.5kWh battery package. The series production solar cells from the Solar World company in Germany provided about 30% of the needed energy. The maximum actual range of the aircraft is about 500km. A special high resolution camera for 3D landscape mapping (with a resolution of up to 5cm) was installed on board.
