Project Sunrise consists of two experimental flights carried out by Qantas in 2019, both setting the record for the longest nonstop flight in the world. This flight will recreate the New York → Sydney leg of this series.
Welcome to New York City compromising of 5 boroughs sitting where the Hudson River meets the Atlantic Ocean. At its core is Manhattan, a densely populated borough that’s among the world’s major commercial, financial and cultural centers. Its iconic sites include skyscrapers such as the Empire State Building and sprawling Central Park. Broadway theater is staged in neon-lit Times Square
This flight covers over 10,000 miles in a little under 20 hours, flying at 85% the speed of sound. The routing takes us west from JFK, across mainland USA, crossing the west coast, and flying across the Pacific Ocean at FL380, before the arrival into Sydney, Australia.
Sydney, capital of New South Wales and one of Australia’s largest cities, is best known for its harbourfront Sydney Opera House, with a distinctive sail-like design. Massive Darling Harbour and the smaller Circular Quay port are hubs of waterside life, with the arched Harbour Bridge and esteemed Royal Botanic Garden nearby. Sydney Tower’s outdoor platform, the Skywalk, offers 360-degree views of the city and suburbs.
