环球飞行严格地说,环绕地球飞行要求必须通过地表任意两个对跖点,也就是说要做到这样至少要飞行40007.8公里。国际航空联合会规定:超过北或者南回归线36786.75公里的长度飞行才可称为环球飞行。首创环球飞行纪录的是两架美国陆军航空队的道格拉斯型水陆两用飞机“芝加哥号”和“新奥尔良号”。其中,“芝加哥号”是由洛厄尔·H·史密斯中尉和莱斯利·P·阿诺德中尉驾驶,“新奥尔良号”是由埃里克·H·纳尔逊中尉和约翰·哈丁驾驶。1924年4月6日,这两架飞机从华盛顿西雅图起飞,经过中间57次着陆后,于9月28日返回西雅图。最早的单人环球飞行是由美国的威利·哈德曼·波斯特(1898～1935年)创造的。1933年7月15 Global Flight Strictly speaking, flying around the Earth requires that you have to pass through any two pairs of plantar points to the ground, that is to say, at least 40007.8 kilometers must be flown. The International Air Transport Association provides that flying over 36786.75 kilometers of the North or the Tropic of Capitals can be called a global flight. The first global flight record is two Douglas-type amphibious aircraft “Chicago” and “New Orleans” from the U.S. Army Aviation Corps. Among them, “Chicago” was driven by Lieutenants Lowell H. Smith and Lieutenant Leslie P. Arnold, "Lieutenant Eric H. Nelson and John Haha Ding driving. On April 6, 1924, the two aircraft took off from Seattle, Washington, and returned to Seattle on September 28 after 57 landings in the middle. The earliest single world flight was created by Willie Hardman Post in the United States (1898-1935). July 1933 15
