空客A350-1000ULR创民航客机最远飞行纪录：墨尔本至图卢兹23155公里不间断飞24小时24分
空中客车11月9日在法国图卢兹宣布，为澳航研制的 A350-1000ULR（超远程型）已经打破民航客机最远飞行距离的吉尼斯世界纪录。这一纪录依据的是该机今年7月27日至28日的一次试飞，飞行数据经国际航空联合会与 Flightradar24 独立核验。
这架试验机以呼号 AIB35LR 执飞，7月27日当地时间17时27分从澳大利亚墨尔本起飞，7月28日当地时间9时51分在法国图卢兹落地，全程12503海里、约23155公里，飞行24小时24分。航线先飞越悉尼，再跨越太平洋、穿过国际日期变更线，横越北美大陆与大西洋，飞越伦敦后南下图卢兹，横跨三大洲与两大洋，机组在一次飞行里两次见到日落、两次见到日出。
此前的纪录由波音777-200LR在2005年11月创下，当时该机从香港飞往伦敦、航程11664海里、用时22小时42分，这一纪录保持了21年。
这架 A350-1000ULR 是空客为澳航「日出计划」（Project Sunrise）研制的机型，澳航共订购12架。该机将使澳航首次开通悉尼直飞伦敦与纽约的不经停航线，航程近10000海里。澳航预计2027年4月接收首架该型客机，悉尼至伦敦直飞航线计划2027年10月开通。

Airbus A350-1000ULR Breaks the World Distance Record for a Commercial Airliner: 23,155 km From Melbourne to Toulouse in 24 Hours 24 Minutes
Airbus announced in Toulouse, France, on November 9 that the A350-1000ULR (Ultra-Long Range), developed for Qantas, has officially broken the Guinness World Record for the longest flight by distance by a commercial airliner. The record rests on a test flight the aircraft flew on July 27-28 this year, with flight data independently validated by the International Aeronautical Federation and Flightradar24.
Operating under the call sign AIB35LR, the test aircraft departed Melbourne, Australia, at 5:27 p.m. local time on July 27 and landed in Toulouse, France, at 9:51 a.m. local time on July 28, covering 12,503 nautical miles, about 23,155 kilometres, in 24 hours and 24 minutes. After takeoff it flew over Sydney, crossed the Pacific and the international date line, traversed North America and the Atlantic, passed over London and continued south to Toulouse, crossing three continents and two oceans, with the crew witnessing two sunsets and two sunrises on a single flight.
The previous record was set by a Boeing 777-200LR in November 2005, which flew 11,664 nautical miles from Hong Kong to London in 22 hours and 42 minutes, a mark that stood for 21 years.
The A350-1000ULR is being developed for Qantas under Project Sunrise, and Qantas has ordered 12 of the aircraft. It will enable Qantas to operate nonstop flights between Sydney and London and New York for the first time, a distance of almost 10,000 nautical miles. Qantas expects to take delivery of its first A350-1000ULR in April 2027, with nonstop Sydney-to-London service planned to begin in October 2027.
