ThroManufactured at SOURIAU Champagné facility, these connectors are made of composite material with a special metallisation in order to be the lightest possible but also to ensure the highest EMI protection performances.
The Solar Impulse aircraft flew though a full night relied solely on solar energy and produced no environmentally harmful emissions.
