Passenger plane sets record with 24-hour flight
Qantas, the Australian airline, has broken a world record in aviation by completing the longest commercial flight in history, lasting over 24 hours nonstop from Toulouse, France, to Australia. This journey is part of the "Project Sunrise" initiative, which aims to use a specially modified Airbus A350-1000 Ultra Long Range (ULR) aircraft for direct flights from Australia to London, reducing travel time to approximately 20 hours instead of five days. The aircraft is equipped with extra fuel capacity and covers over 23,000 kilometers across the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. This flight ranks among the longest in history, surpassing the previous record set in 2005 of 22 hours and 42 minutes on a flight from Hong Kong to London. Direct flights between Sydney and London are expected to commence in 2027, following the completion of testing and improvements on the aircraft.
