A solar-powered plane has made history by flying from Japan to Hawaii, a journey of almost 6,500 kilometres. The plane is called Solar Impulse 2. Solar panels that cover the plane convert the sun's rays into power. Scientists hope that all airplanes in the future will fly using solar power. Solar Impulse 2 landed in Hawaii after a 118-hour flight across the Pacific Ocean. Swiss pilot Andre Borschberg tweeted about his feelings after arriving in Hawaii. He wrote: "Just landed in Hawaii with Solar Impulse….It's a dream coming true." The flight broke the record for the longest journey made by a solo pilot in an unfuelled plane. The previous record was 76 hours, set by American pilot Steve Fossett in 2006.

从日本到夏威夷,将近6500公里的飞行,太阳能飞机创历史。这架飞机名叫阳光动力2号。包裹飞机的太阳电池板将太阳射线转化为能量。科学家希望未来所有飞机都能够使用太阳能。阳光动力2号横跨太平洋,经过118小时的飞行后降落夏威夷。瑞士飞行员安德烈·鲍特伯格抵达夏威夷之后在推特上发布了自己的感想。他写到:“就在阳光动力2号降落夏威夷的那一刻,我的梦想实现了。”这架飞机打破了单人驾驶无燃油飞机的最长飞行记录。2006年,美国飞行员史蒂夫·福塞特创下了76小时的记录。

Solar Impulse 2 is attempting to fly around the world using only solar power. It set off from Abu Dhabi in March and stopped in Oman, India, Myanmar and China. Its next stop will be Arizona in the USA. From there it will fly to New York, before heading to Europe and then back to Abu Dhabi. One of the aims of the journey is to raise awareness about climate change and renewable energy. Solar Impulse 2 co-pilot Bertrand Piccard told the USA Today newspaper that: "The most important thing isn't to make world records. It's to show what we can do with clean technologies." This is important for our planet because airplanes produce around 12 per cent of the CO2 from all sources of transportation.

阳光动力2号正在尝试着用太阳能环游世界。飞机于三月份在阿布扎比启程,途径阿曼、印度。缅甸以及中国。下一站将会是美国的亚利桑那州。之后飞往纽约,随后前往欧洲,并返回阿布扎比。行程的目的之一是要让人们增加对气候变化以及可再生能源的意识。阳光动力2号副驾驶贝特朗·皮卡尔在接受《今日美国》的采访时说:“最主要的不是要打破记录。我们要展现的是我们可以利用清洁能源来做一些事情。”这对于我们的星球至关重要,在所有交通出行工具中,飞机排放12%的二氧化碳。
