      There are lots of scientists and engineers working on trying to make plane fuel more efficient (e.g. that you need less of it to make the plane go further).

      Something I think is amazing is that last year a plane flew around the entire world using just solar power. It did this using solar panels (similar to the ones Saiful described in the lectures). It was called Solar Impulse.
