In which year did the first aircraft make a nonstop, non-refueling flight around the world?

The surname of the designer and the chief pilot of this incredible project is spelled Rutan.

Player #11064750, thx for the spelling correction. And I'd like to add that Burt Rutan has designed many aircrafts. His designs are extremely innovative. A genius with the courage to try different concepts. He's now involved with space flights.
