Fun fact: The longest flight ever flown by a passenger jet was from Hong Kong to London on a Boeing test flight on November 9, 2005. The aircraft used was a 777-200 LR (LR stands for long range). Now usually this flight goes over Asia and Europe and it is 12 hours and 35 minutes. But in this flight, they decided to fly over the Pacific Ocean, America, and Atlantic Ocean to get to London. It was seen flying over Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York City. The flight was a whopping 22 hours and 43 minutes. They had to use 8 pilots for this flight. When they landed, they still had 2 hours worth of fuel left. It was enough to show off how long this plane can fly for.

[@terraholdingco]

The longest flight in the world was performed by the Rutan Voyager in December of 1986. The aircraft was built for the mission and flew around the world, non-stop, without re-fueling. The flight took nine days and two pilots were on board. They flew 26,366 miles in total, blowing away all other long distance flights. They hold the record to this day, taking off from California heading West, and landing at the same airport nine days later.

[@Twobarpsi]

They used cyanoacrylates to build the plane.

[@josels1292]

They are talking about commercial flights not a special once in a life flight. If they wanted they can remove all the seats and load some extra fuel and run the plane around the world no problem.

[@terraholdingco]

@@josels1292 I don't see the reference to commercial flights in the title honestly. I suppose the author intended for their video to be about commercial flights, but, I figured I'd add to the topic in the discussion. But, as the title is written it could be taken in two ways literally: Distance, or time. The distance record I've already mentioned above. The time record is perhaps equally amazing: That record was performed over a period of 64 days, 22 hours, and 19 minutes between December of 1958, and February of 1959 in a Cessna 172. Wrap your mind around the logistics of that flight: Refueling, eating, sleeping, and relieving yourself, showering, changing the oil in the engine while it runs, and so on... Two pilots, John Timm and John Cook hold the title to that record. Your comment about the ability of a commercial airliner to circumnavigate the world if they simply remove seats, add some fuel tanks and see what they can do might not be as simple as you think. Here's the reason: The fuel load on the aircraft is typically already the heaviest thing, aside from the empty weight of the aircraft itself. Cargo jets already have the seats removed, allowing freight to be hauled instead of people. The longest range commercial aircraft is currently the 777X with an 11,500nautical mile range. It takes 21,600 nautical miles to fly around the world in a perfect circle. The 777X weight lifting limitations, would not be able to haul the necessary fuel load to bridge the extra 10,100 nautical miles. Here's a breakdown: To fly 11,500 nautical miles, the jet has to take on a 392,250 pound payload of fuel. Thats an amazing 52,300 gallons! The aircraft's maximum payload capacity thereafter, whether it's seats, or passengers, jello, or freight is an impressive 162,000 pounds. The aircraft requires 34.10 pounds of fuel per mile to fly. To fly an added 10,100 nautical miles, would require an added fuel capacity of 344,410 pounds of fuel, not to mention the weight of the fuel tanks, pumps, and plumbing weight. This would leave the aircraft 182,410 pounds over its maximum takeoff weight limitations, or more than 24,000 gallons of fuel short. The fact that what you claim to be potentially possible has never been done, might shed the best light on the fact that it wouldn't be possible with any modern-day commercial airframe ever invented to date. It lends even more credit to the folks that did perform a full circumnavigation of the world without refueling, on their own accord, and by their own design, in my opinion.

Practically the same distance with the longest flight here with Hanoi being not far away from Singapore and Newark being close to Toronto. The only good thing is since Toronto is 12hrs behind Hanoi, when you arrived, you have an extra 12hrs whereas if you flight the other way around from the place where time is behind forward, another few or many hours extra would seem to have been taken away when you arrive at your destination.

It's not the Planes, it's the Airline specific requirement seats that makes the difference. An A320 can have much bigger seat than an A380 does IF that particular airline ordered them to be fitted that way. Blame the Airlines for making seats increasingly small that only fit for kindergarten children.

One question, the earth flat or a sphere?Or how do you follow the curve when you fly at a level plane?

[@alexf962]

Earth is a sphere, airplanes fly at a constant distance from the surface. Level does not always mean flat.

[@johngoebel7967]

@@alexf962 so you never have to compensate for the curvature? Your nose tip is tilted up, you fly on a level plane yet somehow you manage to follow the curvature. Next time you fly check out how horizontal the horizon is. If you fly in the "southern hemisphere" do you ever feel like you are upside down. Thank you for responding to my question. I just ask you to keep asking questions and trust your senses.

[@alexf962]

@@johngoebel7967 First of all, our senses are extremely unreliable so I would suggest to not trust them so much. The airplane Is able to follow the curvature because the Gravity Vector points Always towards the center, there Is no up or down in space, what we call up Is away from the center, down Is towards It. No One Is upside down in Australia. Plus I don't know why people always talk about people being upside down in Australia when the only "right side up" country Is the North Pole... Quite biased.

[@johngoebel7967]

@@alexf962 I do not refer to them as upside down they do. They say they are from the land down under. But I say they are orentaded just as we are. After all they have rain fall not rain up. If the earth had no water I could see it could be a sphere. But it is 78% water and no amount of "gravity" can hold it to the surface. Vector points aside if you are going in a straight line and earth is curving. You may be cruising at 37 after 500 miles you would be 39 miles above the earth.

[@SYDAirlineEnthusiast]

It is a sphere, and technically, a curve on a flat map is actually a straight line path. It comes off as a curve on a flat map cause the earth is a sphere.

It is interesting the longest SINGLE flight but that isn't the whole story. It might be made of multiple legs but having a system where you have to fly one distance, deplane, pass security again, take a long leg over the pacific, deplane, pass security again then another leg makes the total journey time without any effective break much longer than it seems. The first time I travelled from my home in Kyabram Australia to visit my son in Seattle it took 33 hours of travelling and connecting flights. Someone going from Sydney to London takes substantially less time for a similar distance.
