Bertrand Piccard, a renowned modern explorer, has achieved remarkable feats in aviation and environmental awareness. Starting with hang gliding in his teens, Piccard went on to become the first person to circumnavigate the globe non-stop in a balloon in 1999. He then partnered with André Borschberg to fly around the world in a solar airplane named Solar Impulse. Now, Piccard is working on his most technologically ambitious mission yet - a nonstop zero-emission circumnavigation using a green-hydrogen fuel-cell aircraft, planned for 2028. Piccard's family history is deeply rooted in exploration. His grandfather, Auguste Piccard, pioneered high-altitude flights in a hydrogen balloon in the 1930s, while his father, Jacques, explored the depths of the Mariana Trench in the Trieste in 1960. These achievements have inspired Bertrand Piccard's own projects focused on environmental sustainability and technological innovation. In an interview, Piccard reflects on his family's legacy, emphasizing the importance of their vision for environmental protection and quality of life improvement through technology. He credits his parents' influence - his father's exploration achievements and his mother's interest in psychology and philosophy - for shaping his career path. The Climate Impulse project, which involves building a hydrogen-powered aircraft, has garnered support from corporate sponsors like Airbus. Piccard expresses confidence in hydrogen as a future aviation fuel, highlighting its potential for reducing environmental impact. Through his innovative ventures, Bertrand Piccard continues to carry forward his family's spirit of exploration and environmental consciousness.
