Can a plane fly for 24 hours?

Theoretically it is possible but even a supersonic jet would be hindered by factors such as speed restrictions and in-flight refuelling. Yes – but only in theory. The Earth is roughly 40,000km in circumference at the equator, and completes one rotation every 24 hours.

Does a day really last 24 hours?
Day Length
On Earth, a solar day is around 24 hours. However, Earth's orbit is elliptical, meaning it's not a perfect circle. That means some solar days on Earth are a few minutes longer than 24 hours and some are a few minutes shorter.

Can you learn to fly a plane at home?
Well, in most places in the world, it's not legal to fly a plane without a pilot's license - and to get a pilot's license you need to be taught by a qualified instructor. So you can't (legally) teach yourself.

Can you fly a plane with flight simulator?
A PC flight simulator can be a great training device for practicing procedures, checklists, emergencies, and pre-flying routes for students and novice pilots. However, PC simulators are unable to replicate the motion, feel, turbulence, and handling which can only be accomplished in a real aircraft.
