Solar plane leaves for Hawaii after monthlong layover in Japan

Photo shows a solar-powered plane, Solar Impulse 2, which left for Hawaii early June 29, 2015, from Nagoya airfield, after a nearly monthlong layover in Japan to avoid bad weather while circumnavigating the globe. The duration of the flight to Hawaii is expected to be 120 hours -- five days and nights -- the longest trip for the plane operated by Swiss pilot Andre Borschberg. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo

    Photo taken Feb. 10, 2016, at Nagoya Airport, central Japan, shows the Mitsubishi Regional Jet, Japan's first domestically produced commercial passenger plane, touching down following its first trial flight since Nov. 27, 2015. Initial delivery to ANA Holdings Inc. will likely be delayed to mid-2018 from the originally scheduled second quarter of 2017 as work is needed to strengthen and improve the jet's wings.
