Corrected entry: The Red Skull's flying wing takes off from the secret base in the Alps, the ensuing fight between Captain America and the Skull and his minions takes all of 15 minutes, yet somehow the aircraft is over the Arctic. A propeller-driven aircraft simply can't reach Mach, and as a matter of fact, propellers would slow any jet aircraft down, so it would be physically impossible for the wing to travel the 4000 miles it would have had to.

Correction: The aircraft itself was powered by the Tesseract. As seen by weapons powered by the Cube, the power output is increased dramatically. While no in-movie explanation is provided, the Tesseract would seem to have the same effect on the aircraft, greatly increasing the power output to all engines. And The Red Skull is also an engineering genius so he would find ways to make the design of the aircraft meet maximum potential.
