12. Solar Plane By Sagan H. Grade 4W I thought of a plane that ran on solar power. On the wings there are solar panels. While the plane is flying, the panels collect solar power. The power is transferred through wires to a motor. The motor moves the plane. If the panel breaks or there is no sunlight, then two extra panels open up. They can also collect emergency power and store it in case the plane gets blocked by sunlight. If it rains, then the solar panels get moved by a sheet of plastic and the emergency panel is used.
