Longest flight you could possibly operate in airwaysim

[rntair]

I'm talking about the two airports that are furthest from each other. Both of the airports have to be in the game. I'm guessing somewhere like South Georgia all the way up to somewhere in Russia.

It doesn't matter if you can't fly the route nonstop.

Thanks

DRRM-NSAU?
edit: eh one of them is not in the game, nevermind

I flew a Glasgow-Christchurch, 10048NM, in a previous GW3(pro-tip : it does not make any money, 220 demand is not enough for such a long flight). You can even fly to Dunedin(10171NM), but there is no demand.

NSAU-DNKN seems to make 10690NM, so even more, but it just makes no sense. At least, between Glasgow & Christchurch, I had some demand. NZDN-LECO is 10631NM, but it makes no sense either.

NSTU (Pago Pago) - DRZR (Zinder) is 10763nm (12386).

Longest I can find.

Joacaba, Brazil (SSJA/JCB) - Yoron, Japan (RORY/RNJ). 10793nm/12420.

There are a few from Perth, Australia to US East Coast, that are 10,000+ nm, that actually have demand to to fly.

Richard Branson would have you believe you could do that in 3or4 hours in a few years time.... the man has no shame when it comes to getting that airline in the news

Tough to forecast. It's really a small company, and I fear they lack the punch needed to make a full aircraft project. Even a low-cost, well led company as SpaceX had to hire more than 1000 people(amongst the best ones) to have the project advancing. They are 11 people right now, even with modern tools, it's not enough to make a full project.

It's not a software project, where a few very fine people can make wonders and create a virtuous cycle. You need to build that 200M$ baby first, and that's a damned costly entry ticket. As long as they don't get enough investors, they cannot succeed.

Though they are now backed by Scaled Composites... which is in my opinion a credible company

I think its range is only about 4000nm?

Joacaba, Brazil (SSJA/JCB) - Yoron, Japan (RORY/RNJ). 10793nm/12420.

but can it be done with Yoron's runway?

backed mean nothing. Nowadays most ventures in the world are failure regardless of who are backing them. Investors are spreading their moneies across all sort of different projects for the chance that some would be successful

Well they do have customers lined up (Virgin Atlantic + unnamed European carrier) and with SC helping them develop it, certainly given their experience on these types of projects.
This definitely makes them more credible than say NG Aircraft and the fokker 120NG (which is included)

[ScottPerchard]

Virgin would need to ditch the plucky underdog tag if they took on a supersonic aircraft. They are forever pointing and crying foul at BA (sometimes rightly) but mostly for PR. Not sure they have the infrastructure to run and maintain something as technical as a supersonic fleet at the moment. I see Virgin as a premium subsidiary of delta in 5/10 years.
