Voyager Global Flight Pioneer Hat

The Scaled Composites Voyager represents an awe-inspiring leap in aviation history, being the first aircraft to fly around the world without stopping or refueling. Designed by Burt Rutan and piloted by Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager in 1986, this aircraft showcased the pinnacle of endurance and efficiency in its time. With a wingspan of 110 feet and powered by two engines, the Voyager took off from Edwards Air Force Base on December 14, 1986, and completed its historic flight in 9 days, 3 minutes, and 44 seconds. This remarkable achievement demonstrated the potential for long-distance, fuel-efficient flight and has inspired countless innovations in aviation technology. The Voyager is not just an aircraft; it's a symbol of human ingenuity, determination, and the relentless pursuit of breaking barriers.
