空客A350-1000ULR超远程客机成功完成了一次创纪录的不间断跨洲飞行。2这架飞机从墨尔本飞往法国图卢兹，飞行时间为24小时24分钟，覆盖23,075公里的距离。2这次试飞吸引了超过365万人通过FlightRadar24实时追踪，成为该平台历史上第二高追踪量的航班。2
该飞机由澳洲航空公司订购，共12架，12用于执行名为Project Sunrise的项目。1这一项目旨在开通从悉尼出发至纽约或伦敦的不间断商业航班。1根据测试结果，悉尼至伦敦的预计飞行时间为19小时25分钟至21小时，伦敦至悉尼方向为18至20小时。2机长Xavier Pepin介绍了航班中的人员安排：采用四小时轮班制，每两小时轮换飞行员。2澳洲航空计划于2027年开始提供这一商业航线的售票运营。1首架飞机预计于2026年6月2日首飞。2
这次飞行有望打破现有的世界纪录。2目前的纪录由2005年波音777保持，当时从香港飞往伦敦用时22小时42分钟，飞行距离为21,601.7公里。2
Airbus's ultra-long-range A350-1000ULR aircraft has successfully completed an extraordinary nonstop flight between Australia and France, marking a major milestone for ultra-long-haul aviation.2 The aircraft flew for 24 hours and 24 minutes, covering a distance of 23,075 kilometers from Melbourne to Toulouse.2 This achievement exceeded the previous world record set in 2005 by a Boeing 777, which completed a flight from Hong Kong to London in 22 hours and 42 minutes over a distance of 21,601.7 kilometers.2
The test flight was conducted as part of Qantas's Project Sunrise initiative, designed to develop ultra-long-range commercial operations.1 The airliner was developed specifically to support Qantas's planned nonstop commercial routes between Sydney and either New York or London.1 The airline has ordered 12 A350-1000ULR aircraft and plans to commence commercial ticket sales for these routes in 2027.1 The aircraft is scheduled to enter service in June 2026.2
The successful test flight captured unprecedented public attention, with more than 3.65 million people tracking the aircraft on FlightRadar24, making it the second-most tracked flight in the platform's history.2 During the flight, the crew employed a four-hour rotation system with pilots alternating every two hours to manage fatigue across the extended duration.2 Once operational, the Sydney-to-London route is projected to take between 18 to 21 hours of flight time, depending on direction and conditions.2
