In 2012, a manned aircraft powered by 11,628 photovoltaic cells covering 2,200 sq ft of wing space will circumnavigate the globe - if a global engineering team can make it light enough. Called the Solar Impulse, the first prototype of the aircraft flew an entire daily solar cycle, including nearly nine hours of night flying, in July.

"During the whole of the flight, I just sat there and watched the battery charge level rise and rise. Sitting in a plane producing more energy than it consumes is a fantastic feeling", says Andrè Borschberg, CEO and co-founder of the Solar Impulse project.

Engineering science in the United States is advancing while black americans argue over what tribe did what. The thing with flight dynamics is the payload. The Starship Named Jesus will utilize the power of the Sun but differantly than the Solar Impulse.
