Well, yeah, that, but I am an independent ontapanure, and constructor of fine buildings and furniture. --R (who is off to the dump shortly to deliver parts of the old kitchen I tore out yesterday, having made an earlier delivery Saturday) On 3/19/15 9:51 AM, Meade Dillon via Mercedes wrote: R works for M?

Re: [MBZ] OT: Around the world solar flight update
Andy sez: A leisurely 50 mph by my calculations. About the speed of a blimp but without the luxury of cabin service. BZT WRONG! read your own post Andrew. The plane flies ideally at around 25 knots, or 45 kph (28 mph). Big difference between 28 and 50 mph. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: https://server.secureplusplusfour.net:2083/cpsess595060604/3rdparty/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

[MBZ] OT: Around the world solar flight update
Solar plane leaves India for next stop in Myanmar http://click1.email.energyguardian.net/ylqvmfzbcwynqvvfnfqykncmgfnbqgmtwtlgwlqfsbckq_dggdhthdt.html?a=12546By The Associated Press NEW DELHI (AP) — A solar-powered airplane on a historic round-the-world journey took offThursday from the northern Indian town of Varanasi and was headed for its next stop in Myanmar. Swiss pilots Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg are taking turns flying the aircraft as they attempt to circumnavigate the globe on the journey that was expected to take five months. The fuel-free aircraft, called the Solar Impulse 2, is powered by more than 17,000 solar cells on its wings that recharge the plane's batteries, enabling it to fly during the day or night. The single-seat Swiss-made plane was expected to land in Mandalay in Myanmar later Thursday, taking nearly 16 hours to complete the 1,400 kilometer (870 mile) trip over the Bay of Bengal. The plane flies ideally at around 25 knots, or 45 kph (28 mph). ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: https://server.secureplusplusfour.net:2083/cpsess595060604/3rdparty/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
