An aeroplane powered solely by the sun has landed safely in Seville in Spain after an almost three-day flight across the Atlantic from New York.
It is one of the longest legs of the first ever fuel-less flight around the world.
The single-seat Solar Impulse 2 touched down shortly after 7.30am local time on Thursday in Seville after leaving John F. Kennedy International Airport at about 2.30am local time on June 20.
The flight of just over 71 hours was the 15th leg of the round-the-world journey by the plane piloted in turns by Swiss aviators Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg.

"Oh-la-la, absolutely perfect," Piccard said after landing, thanking his engineering crew for their efforts.
With a cruising speed of around 70 kilometres an hour, similar to an average car, the plane has more than 17,0000 solar cells built into wings with a span bigger than that of a Boeing 747.
