"New airliner sets record flying 24 hrs nonstop from Australia to France" by @arstechnica@mastodon.social - #Airbus A350-1000ULR #AIB35LR test flight MEL-TLS going eastbound (long way around) took 24 hours and 25 minutes. It flew over Los Angeles & London. It was record longest non-stop unrefueled flight by an airliner. It wasn't a scheduled passenger flight, which is a different category record this model will probably take as well after certification. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/07/new-airliner-sets-record-flying-24-hrs-nonstop-from-australia-to-france/ #A35K #aviation #travel #avgeek
