It can fly non-stop to Australia from New York, or any place in Europe for that matter. Total range of about 8,750miles

300 passengers? It sounds like a perfect Business plane :) with maximum comfort. Well, I think less passengers means less cargo, which longers the distance ;)

Look at those engines. I heard that the engines are about the same size as the fuselage on the 737...
