Australia’s national carrier Qantas completes a 19-and-a-half hour non-stop flight from London to Sydney, part of a series of tests to assess the effects of very long-haul flights.

The 17,800 mile journey was part of Project Sunrise — Qantas’ goal to operate regular, non-stop commercial flights from Australia’s east coast cities of Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne to London and New York. It was the second time a commercial airline has flown the route. The first was in 1989, with a journey time of 20 hours and 9 minutes.
