Solar Impulse(太阳脉动), a solar-powered plane, completed the longest, transpacific(跨太平洋的 )leg(航程) of its round-the-world journey(环球旅行). The 72-metre-wide craft, powered by 17,000 photovoltaic cells( 光电池)on its wings and fuselage(机身), has broken several solo- and long-flight records. It began its trek(征途) in Abu Dhabi in March 2015 but had been grounded in Hawaii for eight months of repairs after its batteries overheated.
