A solar-powered airship is aiming to fly non-stop around the world

It’s covered with a ‘film’ of solar panels which generate clean energy to power the airship. Surplus energy is stored in fuel cells which create hydrogen to keep the ship moving at night. The creators of Solar Airship One plan to fly it around the globe covering 40,000 km in 20 days travelling over 25 countries.
