Jet lag is often experienced when traveling from one zone to the next. If you are zipping from London to Sydney, halfway across the world, this is bound to hit you hard. Also in the given current scenario, the flight is not going to be one single leap. You will likely be halting for refueling and more passengers at least one place in the middle.

Now Australian Airline Qantas is hoping to make life a lot more easier for people. Teaming up with air craft manufacturer Boeing, the Australians hope to use a plane that is designed to make a direct flight between Sydney and London. The team have called it “Project Sunrise” and are hoping to ultimately fly a set of 300 passengers and their luggage on this 20 hour, nonstop flight as soon as 2022.

Direct connections from major cities in Europe, America and Africa would follow if Qantas is successful. The marathon flight will have to incorporate a lot of things like sleeping bunks, child care facilities, and even a gym where those feeling the need can stretch their limbs. All this in addition to the regular meals and air crew requirements. It’s a tall order, but it’s a science project that is entirely possible.
