Earlier this summer, a piloted fixed-wing aircraft called Solar Impulse completed the first-ever circumnavigation of the Earth using nothing but the power of the sun.
The company behind it, ABB, is the world's largest builder of electricity grids, making most of its estimated $48.1 billion fortune from power and automation technology.
