Burt Rutan designed the record breaking Voyager, the first airplane to circle the world non-stop and without being refueled. As all of Rutan’s airplanes, it employed some of the most advanced design in use today. Hollywood featured the avant-garde beauty of his designs in three films, Death Race 2000, Octopussy and Iron Eagle III. Rutan’s company has developed projects as diverse as a sail for an America’s Cup challenger and the gondola for Virgin-Atlantic’s Richard Bransen’s attempt to balloon non-stop around the world. His company also developed an all composite car body for General Motors that averages 100 miles per gallon. Audiences are inspired by Rutan’s enthusiasm for what individuals with vision can achieve. “An engineer in a normal company structure,” says Rutan, “gets to work on two or three airplanes in his whole career. We’ve done twenty-three airplanes in twenty years.” Burt Rutan has received numerous awards for his designs.
