None of the airplanes you mentioned are practical.

I don't think solar airplanes would work because you would need such a huge amount of solar panels to produce the electricity needed. I would like to see this article about Hydrogen airplanes you speak of. Electrical airplanes won't work (electric cars only have about 100 mile range before the batteries need recharging). As for wind propelled airplanes, if I have the idea correct, would be a propetual machine, which is impossible. Of course, it sounds like you would have a wind turbine on the plane that would power the jet turbines (or props). In case you don't know, there are already wind turbines on airplanes that power all of the electronics on the big commuter jets. They don't produce enough power for the turbines though. If you could explain your ideas further, then we could have a more intelligent discussion.
