Common sub-sonic passenger aircraft can only get to a ceiling (this is not their maximum height) height of 43,000 feet, they can go higher, but that is the comfortable cruising altitude. Space Craft under the Aerospace engineering concept can go as high as they wish, and there is Military Super-Sonic air craft, their ceiling is anything from 30,000 to 60,000 feet.

Why do planes go so high?
As aircraft go higher the air becomes thinner reducing the energy required to push the aircraft forward
What tells you how high a plane is flying?
An altimeter (altitude meter) tells the pilots how high the aircraft is flying. There are 2 types of altimeters commonly used in aircraft: pressure altimeters and radar altimeters.
Why high altitude for aircraft and not 1000ft?
The higher an aircraft is the less air in the atmosphere. this means less air resistance which means you can go faster with less effort. also less air means less fuel burnt for same power. this saves fuel. for this reason most aircraft will operate at high altitudesThere are also fewer obstructions at high altitude than there are at 1000 feet.
What is the sr71 aircraft?
The SR 71 was a very secret high speed, high altitude reconnaisance aircraft. Only 32 were built, at enormous cost.
What is elevator in aircraft?
the elevator is what makes the the aircraft go up or down.
How high are aircraft carriers?
244 feet tall
How do you fly the aircraft?
consider an aircraft wings are to move the high speed,it will make a pressure difference in upper & lower surface of the wing so the aircraft are flying
How high can a commercial jet aircraft fly?
about 42k ft
What is the best wing design for a self propelled plane?
A straight wing is good for a low-powered, slow moving aircraft. A straight, thick wing is good for short takeoff and landing aircraft, and high-speed, high-thrust aircraft need a swept wing.
Why couldn't the Snowbirds switch to a newer aircraft?
Because it would be prohibitively expensive. The Snowbirds perform about 70 airshows every year. They practice intensively for the remainder of the year. The Tutor is a remarkably fuel -efficient aircraft, but fuel costs are still high. Aircraft maintenance costs are high too, and would be astronomical with newer aircraft.
What is a cessna?
Cessna is an aircraft manufacturer based in Kansas. They make business jets, single-engine turboprops and high-wing piston single-engine airplanes, and they used to make twin-engine piston aircraft. Clyde Cessna preferred to design his aircraft with a high wing above the cockpit. Cessna aircraft usually have this feature.
How fast can a aeroplaine go?
depends on the aircraft.
