Eric and Irena have flown thousands of miles in the Sunseeker Duo. Already in 2014 they made their first cross-country flight in this ship, then in 2015 they decided to repeat Eric’s achievement from 2009, crossing of the Alps with solar power.
In 1990 Raymond flew Sunseeker I across the US, and in 2009 he flew Sunseeker II all over southern Europe. From 2006 to 2009 he worked for Bertrand Piccard , building the solar panels for the Solar Impulse airplane.
Eric Raymond’s career in flying began at an early age with model airplanes. Working with Paul Mac Cready, he flew the MPA Bionic Bat. Then he was invited to fly Gunther Rochelt’s human powered Musculair 2 and with Rochelt’s help he formulated the concept for the Sunseeker.
Aug 26, 2013 · Designed and flown by Eric Raymond, then a 33-year-old California engineer, Sunseeker flew across the country, making 21 stops over the course of a summer, spending 121 hours in the air.
Eric Raymond is a real pioneer in electric aviation. Decades before Solar Impulse made its epic flights Eric navigated his solar-powered Sunseeker I across the United States in 21 hops, traveling from Desert Center, California to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
The Sunseeker Duo is a twin seat all-electric solar-recharged powered aircraft. Designed by Eric Scott Raymond, the plane can take off and achieve enough height for the motor to be switched off and follow thermals like a glider (sailplane), allowing the batteries to be recharged through the solar cells on the wings.
