Can you see the big insect-like airplane flying? It is the first plane that uses no fuel at all.

Bertrand Piccard had once a vision of travelling around the world on hot air balloon. Although he succeeded to be the first person to do so, the balloon he was travelling in betrayed him in 1999 when he was stranded in an Egyptian desert after the fuel went low.
That was when another vision dawned in Piccard's mind - to create a plane in which he would not only travel around the world, but he would do so without using an ounce of fuel.
