Running on fresh air? Nope, sunshine. Californian CleanTech company Beam Global is claiming a world record for the longest flight in a production electric aircraft powered by off-grid, renewable solar energy.
Starting in Fresno, a Pipistrel Alpha Electro aircraft flew 227nm over central California with stops in Madera, Merced, Modesto and Lodi before following the same flight path back to Fresno.
The aircraft was flown by Joseph Oldham, founder and CEO of New Vision Aviation, a non-profit organisation providing residents and youth from disadvantaged communities with the opportunity to experience flight and begin training for careers in aviation.
