This also means that this manned aircraft can greatly enhance the connection between two distant regions and significantly reduce the time it takes to travel to these remote areas.

If you travel from West Australia to the capital Sydney via industrial railway, it will take at least two days.

Of course, current airplanes can't support such long flights, even with multiple fuel tanks, the SF-1's maximum range is only 1100 kilometers.

Actually, based on the size of SF-1, it is entirely possible to add a few more fuel tanks and increase the maximum range to at least 1500 kilometers.

However, doing so might not be worth the risk as nobody can guarantee that the aircraft engine won't encounter problems, especially during long flights.
