Solar Technology

The use of solar energy is gaining strength all over the world. There are houses that run on solar energy here in the US. But the latest technological advancement dealing with solar energy is the solar powered airplane. The solar powered airplanes can virtually fly forever because they use the energy from the sun to power it instead of gas or electricity. The airplane is controlled by a piolot who remains on the ground using a remote control. The controls have a joy stick and a GPS navigation system just like regular boeing aircrafts. If you want the plane to turn, you just key in how many degrees and in which direction and the aircraft does it automatically.

These planes can fly higher than boeing airplanes and last much longer. They can fly 96,000ft above the groud, whereas the boeings can only fly 33,000ft about the ground. If these planes are put into commercial use they will get to their destination much faster and with out the worry of running out of fuel. The next advancement of the airplanes is to have them fly around mars, moons of other planets, and even the other planets themselves. Imagine looking out of the window seat of one of these aircrafts and seeing the solar system!
