Cool idea but I give little credence to any of this stuff until a flying
prototype is built. There are just too many hucksters out there that know
how use computer graphics and build a web site.

How about a 158 mile cross country using solar power. This is what
the Sunseeker has done...used battery power to takeoff and climb to
altitude and then solar power to cruise. This plane previously flew
coast to coast using electric power to launch and motor between
thermals.
