Solar powered planes
Before you start worrying, of course solar panels at the moment could not actually produce enough power to enable the plane to fly, but this system from Powerenz will produce enough power to enable the pilot to carry out his pre flight checks.
By using this system planes will save on fuel and therefore make flying better for the environment. It is a surprise that some of the larger airlines do not use something similar, but maybe now it will begin to catch on.
