Solar Impulse pilot: 'It's not the end of our work'

Pilot and pioneer, Bertrand Piccard said 'it's not the end of our work' as his zero - fuel aeroplane becomes the first ever solar powered plane to circle the world.

Solar Impulse has completed a 35 thousand kilometre journey that has lasted 16 months.

It's been a 17 year labour of love for co-pilots Andre Borschberg and his friend and business partner Bertrand Piccard.

'It's a demonstration that green technologies can achieve the impossible', said Piccard when talking about Climate change, 'I deeply believe it is important now to act, not to wait and do nothing'.
