Description: The Swiss Solar Impulse 2 plane requires good weather for its around-the-world record attempt: difficult when it comes to long crossings. The plane’s journey so far has shown that the right weather conditions are rare. Wind and cold fronts have, in the past, played havoc with the Swiss solar-powered plane’s attempt to go around the world. (SRF/RTS/SolarImpulse, swissinfo.ch)
