I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean?

cruising distance/cruising range: "the maximum distance from a base that the fuel capacity of a ship or aircraft will allow it to travel and then return safely at cruising speed"

I've also never heard this term before. It would be useful if there were some context, if the term were in a sentence.

It seems to be how far something can go before it needs more fuel?

yes, cruising distance or cruising range is "the maximum distance from a base that the fuel capacity of a ship or aircraft will allow it to travel and then return safely at cruising speed"

However, we ARE using the second half of this phrase a LOT these days! 거리 means distance, and I hear Koreans say a lot about "social distance," using that ending part!
