The two fliers who made it happen tell their own stories of the designing and building of the Voyager, and the first circumnavigation of the world without refueling. The Voyager 's nine-day epic flight around the world without refueling was a media event and the culmination of a dream. The demanding physical requirements of the flight and the setbacks in its preparation represent a pinnacle of endurance by Yeager and Rutan, who spent six years designing, building, and testing the aircraft.
