My Longest Litchi Mission so far....3.6 miles, 200' Altitude, 30mph.

Yes 15 minutes you will be fine. Litchi seems to estimate on the high side. My Baltimore missions range from 37,500-39,000'. Litchi estimates them to complete in ~19 minutes @ 30 mph. They complete in about 16 & I normally have 28-34% battery left with a P4 depending on the winds. My P3 aircraft finish with 25-30% remaining. The Baltimore runs have a lot of yawing & lots of altitude changes which uses more power. I've flown a mission of ~44,000' & returned with ~22% remaining. Cutting it to the edge in light winds I'm confident you can get 50,000' with a reliable battery but this is really pushing things near the limit.

I did a 11.9 km (about 39,000 ft) Litchi mission today (I had to disable the Smart-RTH), left at 98% battery (as I burned 2% on preflight systems checks) and landed with 35% battery. Easy peasy, with a reasonable battery cushion.
 
For inspiration and editing ideas, check out Seagull Arial on YouTube, especially Around the World by Drone, I wanted to quit after seeing his work.
