Altran Broadcasts Live From the Solar-Impulse Virtual Flight

Paris (ots/PRNewswire) -

From 17 and 20 December 2013, " Career "*, Altran's web TV show
dedicated to recruitment and engineering career opportunities, will
be stationed at the Duebendorf military base in Switzerland to cover
the Solar Impulse 72-hour non-stop virtual flight. A key stage in the
preparations for the 2015 round-the-world tour, the virtual flight
will be piloted by Bertrand Piccard and broadcast live over the
three-day period, at 6.00 pm on the web (Facebook Altran
[https://www.facebook.com/AltranGroup ] and Altran.tv
[http://www.altran.tv ]).

The challenge for the HB-SIB solar plane during the round-world
tour is for one pilot to fly five days straight on solar energy
alone. It is, therefore, essential to analyse the possible flight
scenarios, as well as fatigue management, autohypnosis and cockpit
ergonomics, etc.

Each web TV show will take you behind the scenes of the virtual
flight.

Every day at 6.00 pm (CET), the " Career " team accompanied by
Altran's two Solar-Impulse experts will let you share a unique
experience and discover the technological challenges raised by our
experts:

- The highlights of the last 24 hours
- Focus on the technical aspects of the flight, the new plane which is currently
under construction and the logistics, etc.
- The portrait of an Altran consultant, as well as his/her career-path and
experience on the project.
