Solar Impulse to land in Japan because of poor weather
A record-breaking attempt to cross the Pacific Ocean using a solar-powered plane has been aborted.
Poor weather conditions are forcing the Solar Impulse craft to head to Japan to land.
The pilot was 36 hours into what was expected to be a six-day journey from China to Hawaii.
The team will now wait in Japan for clearer skies before attempting to continue.
