CRI听力:Solar Impulse 2 Prepares to Take off for Nanjing
The Solar Impulse 2 is expected to take off from Chongqing on Thursday now to continue its around-the-world flight.
The plane is originally scheduled to take off Tuesday but the weather caused the delay, again.
The solar-powered aircraft has spent the past two weeks in Chongqing.
It's headed for Nanjing.
Solar Impulse 2 arrived in Chongqing on March 31st after flying in from the city of Mandalay in Myanmar.
The flight to Nanjing will be the sixth leg of the Swiss-developed plane's quest to become the first aircraft to fly around the world powered only by the sun.
The single-seater aircraft, piloted by Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg, is made from carbon fiber and has more than 17 thousand solar cells built into its wing.
For more on the story, we are now joined live by Elke Neumann, Media Relations Officer of the Round-The-World project, from Nanjing.
