Introducing the Aerolabe, brainchild of painter and sculptor Gaspard Schlumberger, who believes that solar powered aircarfts will replace current gas-guzzlers to provide a clean and green environment.

The cigar-shaped Aerolabe has solar panels and wings to make it take to the skies.

Gaspard estimates that three and a half million euros will turn his dream into a reality - with the goal of sailing over the Atlantic in the Aerolabe without polluting the airspace.

I applaud his concept but I am just curious to know what a week of thunderstorms or foggy weather will do to Aerolabe. Will passengers be stranded in mid-air?
