An epic 505-day journey by fuel-free Solar Impulse

It's taken more than 500 days, but the epic journey of Solar Impulse 2 is finally complete.

The experimental solar-powered plane made aviation history when it landed in Abu Dhabi before dawn on Tuesday, after successfully circumnavigating the globe without using a single drop of fuel, and overcoming countless problems.

This record-breaking mission was flown by two Swiss pilots, Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg.
