Yes it is possible, with modern technologies scientist have successfully completed and tested the airplane which only runs only by solar energy. First of all why solar energy? What is the need for the solar energy to run a plane? Does solar powered aircraft have a scope in future? Today a plane like Boeing 747 consume a gallon of fuel for every second! Over a 10 hour flight it consumes about 36,000 gallons which approximately equal to 1, 50,000 liters. Now imagine in future same Flight, powered only by the sun, which runs out of fuel can reduce tremendous amount of pollution in the air.So far in past many solar powered aircrafts was introduced, which had some success and failures.
