Matevž Lenarčič plans to complete his journey around the world in 13 fairly long stages – each flight will be about 13 to 14 hours long on average, while the longest may take about 20 hours. The aircraft has not yet tested for maximum weight yet, Lenarčič admits before estimating that he might be able to stay up in the air for about 22 hours straight. The normal travel speed of his aircraft is between 230 and 240 kilometres per hour.

The aircraft has all the essential equipment one might need on such adventure, since Lenarčič is fully aware that he needs to be prepared for any unexpected event, may it occur above the water, the desert, or the jungle. He has enough food on-board to last a week.

An important part of the on-board equipment is also a new measuring instrument for black carbon, which was further perfected by the Aerosol company, "so that the measurements are now much more precise, which means we'll learn some things we couldn't during our previous attempt", points out the Slovenian pilot. Namely, this is Lenarčič's third journey around the globe as part of an environment research mission called GreenLight WorldFlight.

Until now most measurements of black carbon have been carried out at ground level, which is why there is very little information on its concentration in the air. The scientific research team will examine the data acquired by Lenarčič during his journey. Their findings will be published in a study and made available to experts as well as the public.
