Etymology
This is the genitive singular form of 'der Flug' (the flight), which comes from the verb 'fliegen' (to fly). Cognate with English 'flight'.
Memory Tips
The '-es' ending signals the genitive case for many masculine and neuter nouns. Think of it like 'of the' in English, as in 'the duration *of the* flight'.
