About 700 nm.

They should make the wings like gliders wings - have a crew at the runway slot them in before takeoff and take them out after landing - much easier. Wingspan at the gate would be zero. Don't worry about the engines - got a tug for that. Aircraft can share wings. Reduced engine count and reduced costs.
