Formed with special weight-bearing solar panels, the road can hold medium-size vans and has strong friction.

Once it's completed, the highway would be connected to the power grid so it could provide electricity to the city.

The solar highway is formed with three layers.

The top layer is paved with the so-called 'transparent concrete', which is said to be as strong as the traditional road-surfacing material, asphalt concrete.

The middle layer is the power-generating layer consisting of solar panels.

The bottom layer is the insulation layer which separates the photovoltaic system from the damp earth.

China is set to open its first solar motorway that can generate electricity under sunlight.

The two-kilometre-long (1.2 miles) stretch of highway, situated in Jinan, could charge electric cars as they are travelling on it.


The two-lane road could also warm itself up in sub-zero weather to melt the snow on top so drivers could drive on it more safely.

A flight attendant prepares the meals on board a Pan Am clipper.


The outbreak of the Second World War slowed down the production of the flying boats.

The flying boats also came complete with bunk beds in sleeping compartments with some aircraft even having honeymoon suites on them.

Pictured left is a passenger being served breakfast in bed.

A one-way ticket from San Francisco to Hong Kong could cost as much $760, the equivalent of up to $13,000 (£9,600) today.

US president Franklin D Roosevelt and UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill are both known to have used Clipper services.

When food was served on board, wealthy passengers were able to sit at restaurant-style tables and chairs and eat their meals using fine china.

Carriers such as Singapore Airlines, Emirates and Qatar have all recently unveiled first-class and business-class suites featuring beds in compartments but vintage pictures reveal that this kind of luxury was standard in the 1930s.

Of course, they were much noisier, but these incredible machines featured plush armchairs, dining rooms festooned with fine china, dressing rooms and separate bathrooms for men and women.

Passenger Arson Fern (left) described how it took 30 minutes for the passengers to open an emergency exit door, after which the passengers exited the aircraft one-by-one.
