3 days and 3 nights in a volsTweetSimulator a 72-hour marathon. This is the incredible challenge of Bertrand Piccard. To prepare for his round the world in 2015, the Swiss must stay 3 days and 3 nights at the controls of a Flight Simulator, exact replica of Solar Impulse.

"We need to train the pilot and the team very long missions because we will cross the Pacific and the Atlantic for several days," says Bertrand Piccard (@bertrandpiccard), co-founder of the Solar Impulse project. So far, the maximum time spent in flight - real good this time - does not exceed 26 hours. To cross the ocean, the driver must push the acceptable limits by the human body. Before attempting to experience outdoor, Bertrand Piccard is therefore installed in reply cramped of Solar Impulse. The scenario is simple: starting from Norfolk (East coast of the USA) and land in Seville, Spain. Outages and disasters will rhythm this simulation. As for take-off, it took place on the mainland this Tuesday at 8:00 at Dübendorf in Switzerland.

And for more than 30 hours, Bertrand Piccard is still in flight. His teammate, André Borschberg (@Andreborschberg), had already passed this experience in February 2012.

In the foreground: doctors and specialists take turns to analyze data collected by the sensors placed on the driver's body. This training is first and foremost a new scientific experiment to test the limits of the human body in a very cramped environment (4.5 m³). It is also the opportunity to experience tips, tricks, and techniques to increase the endurance of the driver. Bertrand Piccard must learn how to get the most possible in agreeing 20 min NAPs, self-hypnosis sessions-doped. Awake, he must also perform vigilance tests to control his attention.

at the sides of the experts, the team of press officers take turns for filming, mount, and regularly publish footage and interviews on video on Youtube. They also relay the live flight on the website of the project and on social networks like Twitter.

"Second day in the Solar Impulse Flight Simulator. The night rather allowed me to relax and sleep a deep sleep", says Bertrand Piccard on his Twitter account this morning.

driver must still take several hours before the landing of the experience, scheduled this Friday at 8:00. The next step in the adventure will be the finalization of a second copy of the Solar Impulse able to carry in turn Bertrand Piccard and teammate André Borschberg over the different stages of their challenge around the world in a solar airplane. After proving that he was able to fly day and night without fuel and without stopping, the Blue Bird awaits beyond its pilot him also its limits.
