The experimental solar aircraft Solar Impulse, flying day and night without fuel, took off Friday morning at 7:30 (GMT +1) from Ouarzazate airport to Rabat on its way back to Switzerland via Madrid.
Solar Impulse, the first of its kind to make an intercontinental flight to Morocco, landed June 22 at the airport of Ouarzazate.
Last month, the solar-powered plane made the 2,500-kilometre (1,550-mile) journey from Madrid to Rabat, its longest to date and its first between continents, after an inaugural flight to Paris and Brussels last year.
According to a joint statement of Solar Impulse and Moroccan Agency for Solar Energy (MASEN), released Thursday, the plane should land in Rabat on Friday evening around 22h00 (GMT +1).
