Debris from historic solar-powered aircraft washed ashore in Cameron Parish, NTSB says

Debris found in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, has been identified by the NTSB as belonging to Skydweller Aero's solar-powered aircraft Solar Impulse SI2. The aircraft, part of a U.S. Navy exercise, crashed into the Gulf of Mexico in May 2024 after losing power during a return flight. The Solar Impulse SI2 previously completed a record-setting global solar flight in 2015-2016.
