4.A solar plane on a round-the-world journey has reached the point of no return over the Pacific Ocean after departing Hawaii,and now it's California or bust.
The plane was cruising over the cold northern Pacific late Thursday at about 6,000meters with a nearly-full battery as night descended(降臨),according to the website that's recording the journey of Solar Impulse 2.
After some uncertainty about winds,the plane took off from Hawaii and was on course to land in Mountain View,California,in about three days.The crew that helped it take off was clearing out of its Hawaiian hangar (飛機庫)and headed for the mainland for the weekend arrival.
At one point the plane was passed by a Hawaiian Airlines jet whose passengers caught a glimpse of the Solar Impulse 2before the powerful airliner left the slow-moving one behind.
The aircraft landed in Hawaii in July and was forced to stay in the islands after the plane's battery system sustained heat damage on its trip from Japan.
The aircraft started its journey in March 2015 from Abu Dhabi,the capital of the United Arab Emirates,and made stops in Oman,Myanmar,China and Japan.It's on the ninth leg of its circumnavigation(環(huán)行).
Pilot Bertrand Piccard,who is flying the latest leg of the trip,was confident on Thursday that things would go according to plan.
Piccard and his co-pilot Andre Borschberg were in charge of the mission.The team was delayed in Asia.When first attempting to fly from Nanjing to Hawaii,the crew had to divert to Japan because of unfavorable weather and a damaged wing.
A month later,when weather conditions were right,the plane departed from Nagoya in Japan for Hawaii.
