A pilot flying a solar-powered plane has broken the world record for the longest non-stop solo flight in history.

Pilot Andre Borschberg landed the Solar Impulse 2 plane in Kalaeloa, Hawaii at 5:55 a.m. local time after flying non-stop for five days.

This ended the final and longest stretch of a seven-leg round-the-world journey. The 8,200 kilometer (5,095 miles) stretch started in Nanjing, China on June 28 and ended on Friday.
