Additional Information |
>Tûranor PlanetSolar< is a multlihull vessel topped by a large array of photovoltaic solar panels (507 m²). This biggest solar boat ever built has impressive dimensions and is yet both silent and clean. The goal is to navigate around the world in 2011 at an average speed of 7.5 knots — no mean feat for a solar-powered craft. |
