In aviation, the flight length is defined as the time airborne during a flight. There are four categories, short-haul, medium-haul, long-haul and ultra long-haul.
A flight is typically planned to follow a direct route wherever possible to minimise flight length. For long-haul flights, the most direct route follows a great circle along the diameter of the Earth. For example, aircraft travelling westward between continents in the northern hemisphere often follow paths extending northward near or into the Arctic region. When shown on a conventional projection of a world map, the resulting route looks curved and appears longer than it really is. The great-circle distance between airports may therefore give a better indication of the shortest flight length.
However, a flight route must also take into account weather conditions, air currents, and fuel economy. A long-haul flight in an easterly direction often takes a longer more southerly route than the great circle in order to take advantage of the jet stream, a high-altitude wind that can allow an aircraft to cover a longer absolute distance using less fuel than on a more direct route.
Qatar Airways QR 740 (Boeing 777-200LR) flies within a few degrees of the geographic north pole, on the airline's longest duration nonstop flight, over 16 hours. How does that feel exactly, in economy class? Surprisingly bearable. Please visit: http://www.jonathanstewartphotos.com "Like" on Facebook: http://www.fb.com/jonathanstewartphotos
Plans and Laser cut Kit's now available for the Gemini V-2 on our Website: http://www.bearospaceindustries.com/aircraft.html Flight Testing the Gemini Version 2 High Altitude Long Duration FPV/UAV: Climbed very slowly to altitude, keeping a reserve in the battery. Then Descended in a shallow dive, bleeding off altitude. The total time for the flight was 2 hrs, and 2 minutes. Maximum altitude reached was 4008 meters or 13,159.6 ft. That's very nearly 2 1/2 miles high! Part of the flight was in instrument conditions, and the plane was flown manually without an autopilot. 6 cameras were on board for the flight. 1-Pilot's FPV camera with pan tilt servos 2-Observer camera (Dad cam)with pan tilt servos 3-GoPro hero 3+ mounted externally under the nose 4-GoPro hero 2 set to take vid...

I found this old video on my computer. It's the first flight in my Airbike after building it in my basement. I had finished up the paperwork with the FAA earlier that week and received my tailwheel endorsement that afternoon. The weather was perfect and there was nothing left to do but go fly. The monthly EAA chapter meeting happened to be that night, so I ended up with a few extra helpers and a bit of a crowd. The flight went well, even though my nerves were tested a bit.The guy pulling the starter rope is Wally. He was my SEL power instructor in C-150s. The man shaking my hand at the end is Laird, who was one of the two glider instructors that first taught me to fly. Except for my first solo in a glider, few have been as memorable as this first flight in an airplane I built myself. ...
Soaring is the process of collecting energy from the wind during flight with an aerial platform. Animal studies have demonstrated that large birds can significantly extend their flight duration by soaring in favourable wind conditions. Since most UAVs have their flight duration limited by some form of internal energy storage for propulsion (batteries or fuel), autonomous soaring provides a unique opportunity to extend flight duration without modifying payload. This talk will present work performed at the University of Sydney towards understanding soaring and developing autonomous soaring algorithms. We will present some basic reactive strategies for dynamic soaring and attempt to approach the more complex problem of simultaneously exploring (mapping) and exploiting (soaring) in unknown win...

*This video is property of "RachaelMatt" Train_PlaneHub, do NOT re-upload this footage!* 1080p HD! Onboard another EasyJet adventure, this time only domestic, on one of only a handful summer specials between Liverpool and Newquay. The flight busier than I was expecting with 117 passengers onboard. A lovely day for flying, pretty much clear skies the entire journey. Slightly delayed departure from Liverpool due to the aircraft getting held up at Amsterdam on its previous flight, you can hear the captain explain that. Nice views over central Wales and the west country before starting our descent down the west of Devon & Cornwall and turning over the Atlantic for arrival on RWY12 at Newquay, St. Mawgan airport, which meant some beautiful beach views during our last few moments in the air! ...

Flight from Dubai to Zurich on Emirates Airlines Boeing 777-300ER. Flight duration was about 6 hours and altitude about 38'000 feet. Due to some unknown reason the plane was almost empty with a payload of only 20-30% (estimated). Less passengers means better service with Emirates. Both food choices were still available and I had a lot of privacy and space. If this was an ultra long haul flight I would have slept in the middle for a while ;) Please don't hesitate to ask for further information and enjoy!

This video is property of Train_PlaneHub, "RachaelMatt" 1080p HD! A long over due trip back to Kefalonia! It had been a few years since I'd been back to visit my family. So after finding cheap flights with Thomas Cook just 2 weeks before the departure date I thought why not and booked it up! Must admit I was rather hoping for one of the new Thomas Cook A321's with the sharklets but was quite pleased to see I would be travelling on the "Egypt, Where it all begins" aircraft. Very busy flight, not many if any empty seats about, lots of families and couples off for a week or two break. We pushed back bang on time, but a long taxi right up to runway 08R meant we weren't airborne until getting on for 6:20. The lighting during take off was just perfect! Couldn't ask for any more, engine was l...

This video is property of Train_PlaneHub, "RachaelMatt" and must not be re-uploaded! 1080p HD! On-board my first ever Delta Air Lines flight for a cross country jump from New York on the Atlantic coast down to Los Angeles on the Pacific coast. Very nice flight, a fair few empty seats around me so enjoyed a free seat next to me and lots of room to spread out. Strange flight in the sense that although it was a daytime flight during the cruise all the lights were switched off and many had their window blinds closed and were sleeping. So the cabin was very quiet and pitch black for much of the flight. Entertainment system was very good. My one complaint would be the on-board service. A 6 hour flight and you only get a couple of biscuits or pretzels and a few free drinks. No meal or anything...
