Icarus Was Right T-Shirt | Icarus meets Solar Plane

Icarus was the son of Daedalus, the brilliant inventor of Greek myth. Imprisoned on Crete by King Minos, Daedalus built two pairs of wings from feathers and wax so that he and his son could escape over the sea. He warned the boy to fly neither too low nor too high. Icarus, thrilled by flight, climbed toward the sun until the wax melted, his wings came apart, and he fell into the sea that now bears his name.

In this design Icarus tumbles through the sky, wax dripping and feathers scattering, while a long-winged solar-powered plane glides past him toward the same blazing sun. In 2016 a Swiss solar plane completed a flight around the world without a drop of fuel. Flying on the sun's power was not a mistake after all. Icarus was right.
