Another of Pigsty's quickies, then. What aircraft once stayed airborne for five hours despite having none of its engines?

this might be too obvious: a motorized glider?

Is that without its engines totally, or just not operating? A space shuttle stays aloft for weeks without its engines operating...

How about the Shuttle piggybacked on a 747 for transport from the plant to California.

Hopefully a motorised glider would still have its engine attached ...

It's a proper aeroplane - meant to spend its life in the atmosphere. As for whether the engines were actually present, that would be telling!

Sorry, no - that's the Space Shuttle again, but with a different numberplate.

1. The Russian version of the space shuttle transported by an AN forgot the number.

2. Guppy transporting another a/c.

I just thought of three more possibilities..

The F-84E Thunderjet or YRF-84F carried by the GRB-36F as a parasite fighter? or

The I-16s (and others) carried by the TB-3 again as parasite fighter.. or!!

The F9C Sparrowhawks carried by the US Navy airships Macon and Akron? or

or how about the XF-85 Goblin? or...

the Short Mayo Composite? Short Maia and Mercury?
