World Record: Flying around the world on an gyroplane

British adventurer James Ketchell has broken records and won awards by flying around the world on his special machine - and he did it to inspire young people.

It's called an auto gyro and is neither plane nor helicopter - but it sure can fly!

He crossed mountains, glaciers and oceans and landed in every US state.

He also stopped in at schools to chat to the young people he met on the way.

Take a look.
