| [00:00.00] | The long-awaited take-off |
| [00:04.39] | of the Solar Impulse was greeted with delight |
| [00:06.50] | by those who have spent the last seven years working on it. |
| [00:11.04] | The solar-powered plane has the wing-span of a jumbo jet, |
| [00:16.39] | but weighs less than a family car. |
| [00:19.13] | It doesn't use a single drop of aviation fuel, |
| [00:22.80] | instead its giant wings are covered with solar cells. |
| [00:26.59] | The project is the brainchild of Swiss adventurer Bertrand Piccard |
| [00:31.57] | - he sees the Solar Impulse as a sign of things to come. |
