Actually, it is more than 10000 statute miles. The 772LR's range is 9420 nautical miles, and 1 nautical mile is equal to 1.151 statute miles. That means the 772LR's still air range is equal to 10842 statute miles In a message dated 11/10/2005 3:52:37 PM Eastern Standard Time, damiross3@xxxxxxxxxxx writes: I think it would be uneconimical for a 777 to do a LHR/SYD nonstop.
