How is it possible to have enough space to store enough aviation fuel for an18 000 km flight with a 19 hrs non stop burning it from London to Sydney?
Is this some kind of hoax ?
In 19 hrs if you leave a water knob running just a little bit you will fill up a football pitch .

@maxdog,
It's possible because this aircraft has a fuel tank storage capacity of 138,898 litre (36,693 US gallon) with a fuel economy of 0.113 kilometres / litre (0.23 nautical mile / gallon).

Your idea that it might be hoax is interesting, since that flight had been announced months ago, tere were more tah 50 passengers on board, the flight could be followed live on flight trackers, videos have been posted ...

Actually it wasn't a test, if there was enough fuel for such a flight but to see, if such a long flight is doable for crew and passengers.

@Walter Hinteler,
Could you work out a car with a petrol engine how much gallons it will need for 18 000 km ?

About the hoax was just sarcastic .

No, it's a hoax - all part of the deep state fabrication that Australia exists https://theculturetrip.com/pacific/australia/articles/some-people-think-australia-doesnt-exist-heres-why/

If you leave a water knob running at 1 cubic centimeter per second, it will produce 68.4 liters in 19 hours. That would make a mess, but wouldn't interfere with your football game since the pitch is 7140 square meters.
