How did the 911 attack occur?
By hijacking commercial airliners to fly into selected targets.
What part of the atmosphere is the highest layer in which planes can fly?
It’s 45,000 ft for commercial airliners
What is the cruising altitude of a commercial plane?
There is no certain cruising altitude for a commercial airline. it depends on where they are flying and how long they fly. most airlines fly above 10,000 ft. the max altitude is around 41,000 ft.
What elevation do airplanes fly?
Most prop planes fly any where from 1,000-5,000 ft. Airliners usually fly from 10,000-20,000 ft. Military jets fly at pretty much any altitude
Why cant planes fly lower than the stratosphere?
Planes can fly fifty feet off the ground if they need to. Commercial airliners fly in the stratosphere for two reasons: there's very little general aviation traffic up there (and most of the GA guys with planes who can fly that high are good pilots), and the plane is more efficient at that altitude.
How cold does it when your in a jet in the air?
The outside air temperature at 39,000 feet (a common altitude for jet airliners to fly) is about 45 degrees below zero.
What kind of Commercial aircraft that can fly 2551 miles without refueling?
Coast-to-coast on one tank of fuel? Most airliners can do it.
How do commercial airliners work?
by flying
What altitude does a plane fly at?
Well, it depends which airplane we are talking about. General aviation airplanes like the Cessna 172 normally fly below 10,000 feet unless there is a supply of oxygen for all on board. Jet liners on the other hand can fly up to 45000 feet. The supersonic Concorde could fly up to 60,000 feet. However, the vast majority of commercial airliners cruise between 30,000 and 35,000 feet.
What is the distance from earth to a jet plane?
Zero, if the jet plane is on the ground, otherwise it depends at what altitude the plane happens to be flying. Cruising altitude for many passenger airliners is around five to seven miles. Military aircraft often fly at much higher altitudes.
Could planes fly over Everest?
Yes. Many commercial flights exceed 40,000 feet in altitude.
Can a passenger plane fly 55000 feet above high winds?
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.
