Solar World solar cells on the 11-meter (36-feet) wings will provide a greatly enhanced endurance of eight hours, good for 1,120 kilometers (694 miles) with no reserve left in the airplane’s batteries. Round that to 600 miles with a healthy reserve of over an hour’s flying time and the long-range cruise is better than most ultralights now flying. The spreadsheet also shows that the airplane would be cruising on the equivalent of 398.15 miles per gallon at its best gliding speed of 63 mph
