Project Sunrise Nears Reality as Qantas' Airbus A350-1000ULR Makes Maiden Flight
- pbronez 5mo agoInteresting, Project Sunrise aims to run non-stop flights between Sydney and London + New York. They needed to design a new airplane to do it. Targeting service starting late 2027.
- mrlonglong 5mo agoNo, they did not need to design a new aeroplane. They redesigned the fuel tanks on the existing A350-900ULR and certify it as A350-1000ULR, that's all.
