OSTALO / OTHER: MATEVŽ LENARČIČ ZAKLJUČIL POLET OKOLI SVETA / MATEVŽ LENARČIČ CONCLUDES HIS SOLO ROUND- THE-WORLD FLIGHT

PORTOROŽ, 22. APRILA, 2016: Slovenski pilot Matevž Lenarčič je na Dan Zemlje zaključil svoj polet okoli sveta, imenovan Green Light World Flight, med katerim je meril tudi emisije črnega ogljika. Na poti je bil štiri tedne, letel 186 ur in preletel nekaj čez 42 tisoč kilometrov. Najbolj onesnažen zrak je zabeležil nad Mehiko, Indijo in Kairom. Če ga na Havajih ne bi zaustavila birokracija, bi bil to tudi najhitrejši tovrsten polet okoli sveta. Tokratni polet je bil začetek misije, ki naj bi trajala do leta 2020, njen cilj pa je izrisati sliko emisij črnega ogljika po vsem svetu. Naslednje leto sledi Sredozemlje, leta 2018 pa Lenarčič načrtuje polet nad Sibirijo in Kitajsko.

PORTOROŽ, SLOVENIA, APRIL 22, 2016: Slovenian adventure pilot Matevž Lenarčič concluded his solo round-the-world flight in an ultra light airplane measuring black carbon emissions on his way. His trip named Green Light World Flight lasted four weeks, he flew 186 hours and just over 42 thousand kilometeres. He detected the highest black carbon levels over the gulf of Mexico, off the coast of India and over Cairo. If he hadn't been delayed by bureaucracy in Hawaii, this would have been the fastest solo round the world trip in the world. This trip is only the beginning of a mission that would continue until 2020 and aims to map black carbon emissions around the world. In 2017, the mission continues with the Mediterranean, and in 2018, Lenarčič plans to fly over Siberia and China.
