SOURIAU is providing power and signal electrical composite connectors for the revolutionary
Solar Impulse solar powered aircraft, which completed a 26-hour non-stop flight in July 2010 and
is working up to circle the earth without fuel only propelled by solar energy.
Through a partnership agreement Solar Impulse uses SOURIAU composite connectors to supply
and monitor the 4 electrical motors powered with solar panel and high performances battery.
Manufactured at SOURIAU Champagné facility, these connectors are made of composite
material with a special metallisation in order to be the lightest possible but also to ensure the
highest EMI protection performances.
The Solar Impulse aircraft flew though a full night relied solely on solar energy and produced no
environmentally harmful emissions.
The partnership with Solar Impulse is a reflection of the technical innovation spirit that exists in
SOURIAU.
