Seville - QNA
The zero-fuel aeroplane, Solar Impulse 2, has landed in the southern Spanish city of Seville to complete its historic Atlantic crossing, according to the (BBC).
Pilot Bertrand Piccard made swift progress over the ocean after leaving New York on Monday.
The flight was the 15th stage in Solar Impulse's bid to circumnavigate the globe.
Mission managers will now plot a route to Abu Dhabi where the venture began in March, 2015.
The project had hoped to end the Atlantic leg in Paris, to echo the pioneering flight in 1927 of Charles Lindbergh.
Lindbergh's Spirit of St Louis aircraft was the first to make the solo crossing.
As it turned out, the forecast this week in Paris was for storms, and so Seville was therefore chosen as the safest option.
