Title: Something other than Red Bull also gives you wings

Perhaps this is just too slow and sedate for "energy drinks"

Either way, I'm looking forward to the attempt.

I like how the news report is implying that the trails of water vapour behind that 747 are somehow polluting :bhead

In another article, it said this plane doesn't even have enough battery power to maintain level flight, and that it is constantly descending (albeit slowly) after dark.

I didn't know that when jet fuel is burned water is produced.

When just about anything is burned, water is produced.

The water is a combustion by-product.  You gotta get it REALLY hot to burn the water too.  Think core of the sun nuclear fusion hot.

    "An aeroplane like this is absolutely unique. And for the first time in history, we have an aeroplane that is flying with no fuel day and night, showing the incredible potential of the clean technologies - all these technologies that the world can also use in order to reduce the dependency to fossil fuel and to be cleaner and solve a lot of problems of pollution."

     Oh OK   :confused:  How many passengers on this amazing transportation breakthrough? 1? Oh wait that's the copilot.  :rolleyes:
