Welcome to How Things Fly (2024)

Q:

How far can an airplane go on a full tank of fuel without stopping while travelling at a constant 15,000 feet above sea level?

A:

This depends on the size of the plane, its efficiency, and how fast it's flying.

A modern Boeing 747 can fly about 15,000 km (9,500 miles) when it's flying at 900 kmh (550 mph). This means it can fly non stop for almost 16 hours!
