Airbus completes record 24-hour flight with plane to be used by Qantas

An Airbus A350 plane completed a record-breaking 24-hour flight from Australia to France, marking a significant milestone for Qantas's upcoming 'Project Sunrise' initiative. The test flight, which covered 23,076 kilometers across three continents and two oceans, was closely monitored by aviation enthusiasts. This achievement brings Qantas closer to introducing non-stop flights between Australia and major international hubs like London and New York by 2027. The flight tested modifications including an ultra-long-range fuel tank, cabin noise reduction, and air circulation systems. The test involved Airbus and Qantas personnel, and follows delays in the project. Singapore Airlines currently holds the title of the world's longest commercial flight, operating a 15,350 km route between Singapore and New York.
