Non-stop flight

A non-stop flight is a flight by an aircraft with no intermediate stops.

An ultra long-haul non-stop flight is a flight by a commercially operated airliner without any scheduled intermediate stop of any kind and route length using the higher end of the airliners' range. These flights usually follow a great circle route, often passing over polar regions.

Ultra long-haul

History

From 1943 to 1945 Qantas operated a weekly Consolidated PBY Catalina 5,650-kilometre (3,050 nmi) return flight from Western Australia to then Ceylon with average flight times of 27 h, the Double Sunrise service. On 1–2 October 1957 a Trans World Airlines Lockheed L-1649 Starliner flew the inaugural 8,640-kilometre (4,670 nmi) London–San Francisco polar route in 23 h 19 min. The L-1649A was the last of the Constellation series, and the ultimate piston-engine airliner in terms of range and endurance.

In June 1961 El Al established a new record for the world’s longest non-stop commercial flight at 9,270 kilometres (5,010 nmi) from New York to Tel Aviv with a Boeing 707 flown in 9 hours 33 minutes, after trying a Bristol Britannia in December 1957. In August 1967, Aerolineas Argentinas established their non-stop Boeing 707 service on 10,062 kilometres (5,433 nmi) between Madrid and Buenos Aires with a flight time of 12 h.

Non Stop

by: Young MC

well if you listen, you're learnin', the money i'm earnin'
i'm from hollis queens and not from mt. vernon
people all over the place, i'm tellin' you now
it's guaranteed for treble and bass, and showin' you how
to kick out rhymes like a blizzard kicks snow
'cause my name is young mc, the boy that's good to go
'cause i'm rough like hunter, clever like macguyver
rock the mic 24/7 don't spit saliva
cold like ice and hot like fire
givin' you a shock like a plug and a wire
'cause people go crazy when the mic's in my hand
'cause i'm like robocop and you're a regular man
my rhymes are mine and not stolen, the mic that i'm holdin'
you told me some rhymes that was weak so i was rollin'
around on the ground 'cause it was so damn funny
don't call me honey, no you never make no money
my rhymes are written, fresh and never bitten
i'm standing, you are sittin', you hear me and then you're quittin'
you're out of the game, nobody knows your name
and your claim to fame is that you show no shame
new york to california, yes coast to coast
and i'm dustin' mcs like ghostbusters dust ghosts
i wrote a little record for the hip and the hop
my name is young, the record's called non stop
non stop for the rhythm, non stop for the rhyme
non stop for the people who are right on time
non stop for the treble, non stop for the bass
non stop for the brotha' who is on the case
i came here to prove a point and to try my best
to get the people on the floor in three minutes or less
there'll be no time for cuttin', no time for mix
to do in three what other rappers can't do in six
'cause i was chillin' at a party, the record was playin'
"this is brand new", that's what the dj was sayin'
but no matter what the people stand on the wall
they'd have more fun goin' shoppin' at a shoppin' mall
so then the dj called me over to help out that night
he said "yo yo that's young mc", i said "yo yo that's right"
so then i grabbed the microphone, the party started to hop
'cause when i start you know i go non stop
i'm ready willing and able, the mic and turntable
if i'm not on tour, i'm at home watchin' cable
i made "my name is young" and i made "let them know"
so on your mark, get set... here we go
i make the crowd go insane, don't use cocaine
i like to travel a lot because i travel by airplane
sittin' by the window, sleepin' with a bimbo
take you off your balance like your life was in limbo
too hot to handle, hotter than a candle
sloppy like oscar, but neat like tony randall
my rap is inconceivable, it's unbelievable
to me it's easy but to you it's unachievable
this is the lowdown, forget about the flow down
live from new york it's a hip-hop hoedown
my lip service makes you nervous
yo don't play dumb 'cause you know that you deserve this
renegade rebel, rockin' bass, rockin' treble
takin' rap to a higher echelon and level
elevatin' hip-hop, let me make a pit stop
