Meanwhile, Andre Borschberg pilots who flew the plane, said the whole team worked hard to create and develop the aircraft for a period of seven years.

"The aircraft will answer the riddle surrounding the efficiency of the use of battery power during their flight. History will record the future success of this solar-powered aircraft if the flight is successful," he added.
