Actually it's a completely new design. The same designer, Burt Rutan did it so there are a lot of similarities. Overall it's got less drag and is a more reliable design than Voyager so he outdid himself.Let's not forget that this was a SOLO flight as well.

wow.. kind of a jerk arnt you? Yes, the Voyager did fly around the world, but there are big differences between the two. 1.) Voyager had 2 pilots, GF had 12.) Voyager was a piston engine (2 i think), GF was a single jet.Sure its not as big of a leap as Voyager was, but its still a jump. And remember the GF and Voyager were both designed by Burt, so of course they look similar. If it isn't broke, don't fix it.
