Passenger planes can't fly at 55,000 feet. Gulfstream business jets can fly 51,000 feet altitude, and airliners like to cruise at 35,000 feet. Some military planes, like the U-2, can fly at 55,000 feet or greater.

The winds above the equator are called "winds aloft". Below it, there are various ocean currents, but no winds.
Why does umbrella get inverted during rains with heavy winds?

Does the gulf stream warm the winds above it?
yes
A plane headed due E is traveling at airspeed of 190 mph The winds are moving with constant speed in the direction 240 degrees If the ground speed of the plane is 95mph what is the speed of the winds?
To find the speed of the winds, we can use the concept of vector components. The ground speed of the plane (95 mph) is the result of the vector sum of the airspeed of the plane (190 mph) and the speed of the winds (w mph). We can find the horizontal component of the airspeed by multiplying 190 mph by the cosine of the angle between the airspeed and the ground direction (240 - 90 = 150 degrees). Thus, the speed of the winds is 70 mph.
What is the traveling speed of a plane?
Depends on the plane, but most can do at least a couple hundred miles on hour, also depends on altitude, airpressure, and winds.
If you were sailing from central America to Asia just above the equator Which winds would help you speed you on your way?
Trade winds. They go East to West.
What is the wind speed when a plane can not take off?
A plane cannot typically take off when winds speeds going from side to side or crosswinds, exceed 35 knots. Consistent winds in excess of 50 knots will shut down most airport operations.
Is it safe to fly in gusty winds?
It is harder to land in gusty winds. Generally the smaller the plane you are flying the more you get pushed around. In a larger plane like the ones flown by the major or regional airlines the planes have enough mass and the crews have enough training that you are safe.
If you were salling from central America to Asia just above the equator whiuch winds would help speed you on your way?
trade winds
Why is their a hole above Antarctica but not the North Pole?
There is a hole above Antarctic but not North pole. The culprit are westerly winds.
What are quick moving winds that flow high above earths surface?
seasons
