Key Takeaways:

  • The Solar Impulse Si2 is rapidly completing the U.S. portion of its round-the-world flight, having flown through three states in four days to quickly pass through "Tornado Alley."
  • The all-solar-powered aircraft's next stop is New York City, from which it will depart for its trans-Atlantic journey to Europe and ultimately return to Abu Dhabi, where its flight began.
  • The Si2 experienced a one-day delay in Dayton when its mobile hangar partially collapsed onto the plane, but it was assessed for damage and cleared to resume its journey.
