Fascinating!
A really interesting adventure! But I think Piccard would agree that, although it looks like a plane, in many ways it probably acts more like a balloon, albeit one that is powered and steerable. But at a speed of 25 knots (about 45 km), it may have to deal with air currents (e.g. the jet streams) that reach hundreds of km/h, aside from less regular turbulence...But in any case, it's certainly great that even
this is possible now...

Yes, and if it works it will put him on a par with say Leonardo da Vinci.
