Imagine 20 hours in the air…If you’re up to it perhaps you should try Qantas’ newest non-stop flight from New York’s JFK to Sydney, Australia.
The scheduled 20-hour flight is one of three test flights for Qantas’ ‘Project Sunrise’, a science-based series of flights designed to gather, among other things, data about pilot fatigue, passenger jet lag and crew performance.
The first test flight left New York City on Friday night (10/18) and landed just after 7:00 AM local time yesterday (10/20) in Sydney. The flight lasted 19:16 with a total of 10,066 miles traveled.
