Key Takeaways:

  • The Solar Impulse Si2 is rapidly completing its U.S. leg, flying from Tulsa to Pennsylvania in four days to quickly navigate Tornado Alley and avoid weather.
  • The all-solar-powered aircraft's next stop is New York City, after which it will cross the Atlantic Ocean to Europe and ultimately return to Abu Dhabi.
  • The flight experienced a one-day delay in Dayton after its mobile hangar partially deflated and collapsed onto the plane, but the Si2 was assessed and cleared to continue its journey.
