Ever take a flight that took 14 months to travel 26,000 miles with its fuel being solar energy only?

It happened a few years ago and was the first of its kind. Maybe the only such flight so far.


Electric or solar? Which is more practical for a plane?

Also if electricity is dependent upon fossil fuel and coal-powered steam turbines how is that better than just using gas? How much or how little fossil fuel and coal-powered steam turbines are necessary to generate the elctricity needed to operate a plane?
