Can a Hawker 800 XP fly from New York to London?
Private jets as small as the Cessna Citation often flown across the North Atlantic Ocean, stopping to refuel along the way as required. Even small piston aircraft and helicopters have accomplished such flights. Any aircraft, including short range military fighter jets that can be refueled inflight often make such trips. I've flown a dozen of these flights myself stopping for fuel in Gander and Goose Bay in northern Canada and Iceland.

How much fuel does a Boeing 747 or 777 consume per hour, while in flight, and what is the approximate cost of that fuel for the airline?
An Airbus A330-200E burns ~5.2t of fuel an hour at 870km/h @ 30,000 ft. Airbus A330-300E burns ~5.46t of fuel an hour in comparison. The A330-800neo will burn some ~4.8t of fuel an hour while the A330-900neo will burn ~5.2t of fuel per hour. That leads to an operating cost of about $6,862.05 to $7,188.00 per hour. Per seat that's $27.12 per hour for the -800neo and $23.96 per hour for the -900neo.An Airbus A350 burns ~5.49t of fuel an hour at 900 km/h, and ~5.56t of fuel per hour at 910 km/h. That's equal to about $7,841.00 per hour. Per seat that's about $24.89 per hour.A Boeing 777, specifically the 777-200LR burns ~6.8t of fuel per hour while the 777-300ER burns ~7.5t of fuel per hour while cruising at 892 km/h @ 30,000 ft. A 2016 upgrade package increases fuel efficiency by 2%. This decreases fuel consumption on the -200LR to ~6.66t per hour and the -300ER to ~7.35t per hour. That's 8,297 L/hr (-200LR) and 9,206 L/hr (-300ER).Boeing states that under regular conditions, the 777-200LR should cost around $9,750.00/hour to operate, with the 777-300ER at a cost of $10,250.00/hour to operate. In a two class configuration this is around $32.39/hour per seat for the -200LR and $27.12/hour per seat for the -300ER. About 60% of that is the cost fuel of fuel alone.The Boeing 747-8I/F burns ~8.83t per hour or about 10,114 L/hr at 929 km/hr @ 32,000 ft. That's a fuel cost of about $7,150.00 per hour or approximately $15.31 per seat per hour. Boeing states the total operating cost is closer to $13,450.00 per hour or about $28.80 per seat per hour.
