[net.space] Electric airplanes

A solar powered electric airplane has already been demonstrated.  The
Gossamer Albatross group combined their construction techniques with
some leftover NASA Solar panels.  $250K for the top of the wing, $6 of
Mylar for the bottom.  I think they flew it from Paris to England.
