2 Engines 4 Long Haul

Postby skoker » Tue Jul 05, 2011 5:31 pm

On November 9, 2005, a Boeing 777-200LR, dubbed the Worldliner, completed the world's longest non-stop passenger flight, traveling 13,423 miles or 21,602 kilometers eastward (as opposed to a normal westward routing for that sector, which is much shorter at 9647 km) from Hong Kong to London, in roughly 22 hours and 22 minutes. Aboard the 777-200LR were eight pilots including Suzanna Darcy-Henneman, Boeing's first woman test pilot. Although the airplane seats 301, there were only 27 passengers aboard this flight. There were two Boeing executives; several Boeing 777 engineers; representatives from General Electric; and a dozen journalists from around the world.

A great choice, Jordan.

I recreated that flight awhile back on FS9. My flight lasted about 2 hours longer as I had to cruise at .80 to conserve fuel.

The route was Hong Kong, Wake Island, LA, New York and London.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
