Aviation history has been made for the world to see.
A Qantas Dreamliner carrying 49 passengers and crew flew straight to the history books by cruising for 19 hours non-stop in a test flight from New York to Sydney.
The plane touched down on Sunday at exactly 7:43 a.m local time at the Sydney International Airport in the longest ever flight.
It all started at the John F Kennedy airport on Friday at 9:47 pm.
To achieve that unimaginable feat, the Guardian reports that the plane had to burn 700 barrels worth of oil.
A lot of attention was paid to the weight that was allowed on board to ensure that it was light enough to make the historic flight to Sydney.
All those who boarded it were in the business class.
According to BBC, the plane was designed with the intention of testing whether passengers and crew have the mental and physical stamina to endure extremely long flights.
Alan Joyce, Qantas chief executive who also made the flight, hailed the feat as a significant first for the aviation industry.
"This is a really significant first for aviation. Hopefully, it's a preview of a regular service that will speed up how people travel from one side of the globe to the other," Joyce said as quoted by Washington Post.
"We know ultra long haul flights pose some extra challenges but that's been true every time technology has allowed us to fly further. The research we're doing should give us better strategies for improving comfort and well-being along the way," Qantas boss added.
