Also that flight path using the curvature of the earth where they fly up to the Artic Circle then drop back down because around the equator is longer despite looking like a straight line.
The Darkstar would be flying at a very high altitude for the sonic boom to be heard. I won't be surprised if the Darkstar can fly more than half of the Blackbird's official max ceiling.
@@tetonis2452 He's actually wrong , he doesn't know what he's talking about New York to Singapore is not the longest direct flight in the world it's only 9521 miles, the longest direct flight in the world is Sydney to London (Kangaroo leg) a flight distance of 10573 miles, more than 1000 miles longer! The world's former longest air route was run by Air New Zealand between Auckland New Zealand and London UK which holds the world's record a staggering 11393 miles!
@@prathamesh9990 the actual flight path does go eastwards, over Japan and over Alaska The cool thing is that for the return flight to SG, it's regularly not simply going in the reverse direction, but the flight goes eastwards again, via Europe and Central Asia. This is because of the easterly wind direction which helps "carry" the plane even further and saving fuel.
Shit, it would take many days. Small planes like that have short range. It would have to make lots of stops to refuel. Actually, I'm not even sure it could actually make it across oceans.
Does he..? You realize this a flight Sim right? People do legit, multi hour long flights from start to finish in normal commercial airlines, and they do it for free, for fun. An hour and half flight is nothing.
@@DorrajExactly man, i play american truck simulator and this is pretty much similar to how msfs is. you take over an hour to go to your destination for fun and i gotta say it isn’t boring and i think i would say the same thing if i had microsoft flight sim
@@consciousmachine4138 Earth is relative, it is both flat and spherical in relative relation to observer by depending of how it is observed due to gravitation caused by total weight of a mass below. This means that airplane that moves just in straight line forward it really goes forward and does not need to prone down to make curvature. By following this straight line forward, airplane ends up in a same spot from where it started to move by going straight forward.
If the map were accurate, yes, but this map is not. Hence, the weird curve. The reality is, the plane did fly straight. The map shows a line that must be shaped like that to account for the false map. He flies over the Arctic because he is flying straight to the other side of the disc under the firmament.
@@hhhhj5831 the flights take so long cause they have to stop and refuel the time in air isn't 19 hours that's with maybe 3 stops air time is probably closer to 10-13 hours
What the others said. Imagine the ISS. It makes one revolution around the earth in 2 hours (which is actually almost the speed in this video). If it did that in the atmosphere it would instantly burn up, also slow down due to air and eventually fall to the ground (if it hadnt burned up already yet)
That's pretty cool. If an actual airliner did just that like The Darkstar, it would make things a WHOLE lot better. Just imagine, you wouldn't have to sit in the aircraft for 19 hours long, you would get there in around an hour and a half. It's around the same time it takes to get from Cairns to Townsville, but with a much greater range. Still, that's pretty impressive. Keep up the good work.
I literally just flew the NY to Singapore flight twice for work... there and back... 18.5 hours each way... Singapore Airlines made it about as affordably comfortable as possible. 😅
Yeah it’s not nearly as bad as it seems. I’ve flown US to HK many times and I’ll take one continuous 16 hour flight over connecting flights for shorter distances any day. Those long haul flights are actually quite nice. Therapeutic almost.
If you notice, he's having to constantly bank at certain points to stay on course. This is because the Darkstar is covering so much ground so quickly that the Coriolis force is actually pushing him off course. A slightly faster way would be fly while aiming at a point somewhat East of New York, and slowly decrease the aim point distance as he covered the distance.
@jordi ramirez Coriolis force is an inertial force, which means it does not appear in inertial frames of reference, but does appear as an apparent force when considering accelerating perspectives such as is found here with rhe Darkstar. If to you that means it is a 'fake' force that is fine, but considering it as a force is useful when modelling certain kinematic scenarios such as this
Sorry but I don't follow blind Religions. Like a flying and Spinning Ball in space and you feel nothing because of your God "Gravity" make you feel nothing. I trust my God giving Senses what say "no movement". We all started laughing and don't believing. It's a search for Truth and not Feelings
I had the honor and pleasure of working for SIA decades ago in outside sales. I never took that flight, but i did fly from LA and SFO to SIN a few times. The inflight excellence is well deserved. I miss those days and really enjoyed working for them.
U need to fly it high up the atmosphere, not in space, even balloons can reach that far, Its just so the plane doesn't experience much resistance from air and drag which makes it go super crazy fast
You kinda remind me of how in XCOM Enemy Unknown the Skyranger can fly from your main base to anywhere around the world in around about 4-6 hours which is pretty impressive.
@@Complete_Stranger7050 he said he did it manually, also that really doesn't look like autopilot. I don't know if auto pilot would go as fast as possible.
The longest commercial flight in the world made the journey between Seoul (South Korea) and Buenos Aires (Argentina) in 20 hours and 19 minutes. The distance traveled was 19,483 kilometers.
@@apasajaasalkan The Kangaroo leg between Sydney and London is currently the world's longest, it's over 1600 kilometres or 1000 miles longer than Singapore to New York, but the world record is held by Air New Zealand although now defunct it was a staggering 11393 miles or 18336 kilometres . Phew😰. New Zealand hold my beer 🍺🍻
