Absolutely. It's all about glide ratio and the ability to store enough energy in the batteries for flight at night. The Solar Impulse weighs less than an SUV.

Excellent demonstration of solar power in action
Made from polished aluminum high tech solar cells are built into the wings
This solar powered aeroplane definitely makes a statement on any high flyer's desk
you would think that airlines would embrace solar power since they have more sunlight above the clouds and would reduce airplane fuel and travel costs?
anyone answer this for me?
Currently, solar power is very inefficient. Something like 10-30% of the available energy can actually be converted into useful work. And when they are flying, what exactly would they use solar power for? The cabin lights? With the engines already...
Acts like a wire so doesn't affect model's performance. Precision current sensing resistor, with only 0.001 Ohm resistance and circuitry only draws 0.007 Amps
Small & Light: 2.8" long x 1.7" wide x 0.83" thick (70 mm x 44 mm x 21 mm), 2.5 oz. That's lifting a 50 pound model into outer space (65 mi.)!
Fine-tuning your electric RC cars & planes for great performance doesn't have to be a guessing game. Measures energy (Wh), charge (Ah), power (W), current (A) and voltage (V) for any rechargeable battery pack from 4 - 60V, including NiCd, NiMH , and SLA, and Li-Ion battery packs
why should more people use solar power and wind power? and what are the benefits of both of them? does it save you money, how much and how much will it help the earth if one person decided to use them? what about a hundred people? what would...
Solar panels are not as "Eco friendly" as you may think. Solar panels are a semi conductor type device as as such the manufacturing process generates lots of Hazardous Waste that need to be disposed of.

This Plane Will Fly Around the World on 100% Solar Power (Video)
For decades, cleantech has engaged in a slogging uphill battle. Renewable energy, arguably the most disruptive technology in the marketplace, poses a clear threat to status quo fossil fuels industries that supply us with the vast majority of our power. As such, the oil, gas and coal industries have worked hard to paint clean energy as a silly hippie daydream. They have funded skeptical think tanks and used their resources to influence and appeal to conservative politicians and opinionators.
As a result, conventional wisdom in U.S. popular culture says clean energy is still a pipe dream. Wind and solar "aren't there yet", electric cars are weird and unreliable, and without coal, gas and oil, why, the lights would up and go off in much of the country! None of that is true, of course, but the American public has been inculcated to believe such boilerplate after years of naysaying 'industry leaders' and dismissive op-eds and so on. Which is why, when something like Solyndra happens, the sufficiently indoctrinated press eats it up and affirms its biases.
Solar-powered plane makes successful maiden flight | MNN - Mother ...
During Wednesday's 90-minute flight, the plane completed a series of turns by gently tilting its black-and-white wings, which are as wide as those of a 747 jumbo jet. It climbed nearly a mile above the Swiss countryside. The weather was sunny, and there was little wind — obvious advantages for a plane so light and dependent on the sun. "Solar energy does not have enough 'energy density' to power regular airplanes that are supposed to fly somewhere in a reasonably short time," said Hans Weber, president of San Diego-based aviation consulting firm TECOP International, Inc. With solar planes, "the objective is only to stay aloft, not to go anywhere fast." Borschberg followed...
