A solar-powered plane landed in Dayton, Ohio Saturday on the latest leg of a record-breaking trip to circle the globe without consuming a drop of fuel, the Daily Mail reported on Sunday.

Solar Impulse 2, piloted by Swiss businessman Andre Borschberg, arrived at 9:56pm local time at Dayton International Airport after a flight from Tulsa, Oklahoma that lasted 16 hours and 34 minutes, a live video feed showed.

'Amazing to have landed in #Dayton after being in the sky for 17 hours!' Borschberg Tweeted.

The slow-moving, single-seat plane with the wingspan of a Boeing 747 cuts a flimsy figure, but it has traversed much of the globe in stages since taking off on March 9 from Abu Dhabi.

The project aims to promote renewable energy.

The aircraft - clad in thousands of solar cells, the sole source of energy for the flight - reached its destination more than an hour ahead of schedule.

Still, traveling at average speeds of only 30 miles per hour, it took Solar Impulse 2 longer to reach Dayton than a car would - the typical road trip from Tulsa is around 12 hours.
