Swiss pilot Andre Borschberg will undergo a three-day simulated flight on the new Solar Impulse aircraft, which can travel around the world powered only by solar energy.

The test will allow the pilot and co-founder of the project to assess the configuration of the cockpit and simulate the effects on the human body of a flight of several days.
