  • This is the world's longest commercial flight: 9,000 nautical miles long and 19 hours taking people from Singapore to New York (Newark). Singapore Airlines only had 5 of the extremely rare A340-500 aircraft. This flight was first discontinued sometime in November 2013 and the A340-500 aircraft sold to Airbus. It has since re-started using the very capable Airbus A350-900ULR, operating to both Newark and New York JFK.
    Airline: Singapore Airlines
    Aircraft Type: Airbus A340-500
    Reg: 9V-SGE
    Flight: SQ22 SIN-EWR
    Date: June 17, 2013
    Enjoy!

      MTOW, probably.

    • @RamakrishnanSRM
      @RamakrishnanSRM 3 роки тому +21

      The reason for flaps 1 is because:
      1. The plane is in MTOW due to the enormous fuel for the record-long flight.
      2. Climb rate will be much higher at a slower speed. Because Engine power will be prioritized for climbing rather than speed.

      I used to notice how the engines have that added motor sound to the jet engine sound during take-off and ascending, then the motor sound is shut off when reaching cruising altitude. That added motor sound I guess gives the plane extra power to lift it higher. Then it's not needed again because the plane then remains at the same height and then eventually descends. I also used to notice the engines quieting even more for descent. In other words, I guess that an aircraft is usually loudest at take-off, then a little quieter for cruising, and then quieter again for landing. Take-off is the loudest part due to the extra power a plane needs to lift itself higher against gravity. Pilots have said that it's possible to safely land a plane without the engines even on, but won't do it on a commercial flight for safety reasons

    Not sure the Ops. Procedures on those specific engines. But I would assume since the aircraft is at MTOW (Max Take-Off Weight), being in Singapore with heavy humidity (probably close to 85%) and extreme hot temperatures (lower air density) you must keep max-rated power up to a certain altitude perhaps. Don't quote me on this though.

      For about two years, this was the longest flight (in miles nonstop) for commercial service in the world. 9,600nm. The 77L can fly farther, but demand wasn't in priority for such a route. The 77L could've worked, but this route couldn't profit for its cost to operate. In terms of time, LHR-SYD in a 77L is still longer, (19.5-21.5h's) but is only 9,100nm and is rarely done.
