TV package: Solar-powered Airplane Visits ‘Birthplace of Aviation’ On Its Way Around The Globe

Solar Impulse 2 is a Swiss-made airplane trekking across the globe to promote clean energy and a spirit of innovation. ideastream’s Tony Ganzer reported on Solar Impulse in Switzerland in 2010, and caught up with the team again in Dayton.
