Aircraft flight is only limited by the fuel supply, and in theory could be extremely long with aerial refueling. The longest practical flight would be a non-stop flight around the world. In December 1986, Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager flew a specially-built airplane called the Voyager around the world without landing. The aircraft is at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, DC. The longest current aircraft is the Antonov An-225, a cargo aircraft built in the Soviet Union in 1998. It is 84 meters (275 ft) in length. Only one plane exists, used in Russia for extremely large and heavy cargo transport.
