The Sunseeker II is on the final leg of its European Tour scheduled to complete its flight to Villamartin, Spain. In an update to the media, Sunseeker II spokesman Eric Lentz Gauthier clarified that the Sunseeker II, piloted by Eric Raymond, had set two more world records.
At the World Air Games in Torino, in June, the Sunseeker II reached an altitude of 20,387 feet, the highest altitude ever achieved by a solar or electric powered aircraft. A second world record was set for time in the air by a solar powered aircraft.
The Sunseeker II is flying over Europe to demonstrate the viability of renewable energy sources.
