The future of energy – Did you know?

The video explains how solar power can be used to fly planes, specifically through the use of photovoltaic panels on the Solar Impulse plane. These panels convert sunlight into electricity, which powers the plane's engine. The electricity can also be stored in batteries, allowing the plane to fly even at night when there is no sunlight.

Discuss the significance of solar power in aviation based on the Solar Impulse example.
