Updated 2020.08.26 14:01 GMT+8

Swiss explorer Raphaël Domjan completed the world's first jump from a solar-powered aircraft after the plane soared to a height of nearly 1,524 meters. He reached a speed of 150 kilometers per hour during his jump, landing near the project base in Payerne. In 2022, the team aims to carry out a high-altitude flight powered exclusively by solar energy, seeking to reach the stratosphere with an altitude of 20,000 meters.
