Bertrand Piccard tackles challenges that others consider impossible. He completed the first ever non-stop round-the-world flight in a balloon, and is the initiator, chairman and Pilot of the “Solar Impulse” project: a solar airplane which is going to travel around the world in 2015 without a single drop of fuel.
