Since 18 July, our solar-powered electric aircraft has been based at Sion Airport, in preparation for this summer’s world premiere attempt at 10,000 metres over the Alps.
After this transfer flight from Payerne, HB-SXA has already flown over the Matterhorn, then Verbier and Mont Fort in particular, to check the plane’s performance in thermals. These development flights in preparation for the imminent altitude record attempt are continuing. Follow us and experience these sorties with us via our virtual cockpit and on our social networks. It’s exhilarating! You can relive the Payerne-Sion flight over the Col de Sanetsch here. Many thanks to Sion Airport and Alpark for their warm welcome, and a sunny summer to all.
