Why does plane not fly at low altitude Why do they usually fly at high altitude?
Better fuel economy. The air is thinner at higher altitudes.
What is the lowest altitude a plane can fly at?
1000 - 500 ft
When are the 4 forces of flight equal?
The plane will fly at steady height and speed :)
How high does a commercial plane fly?
45,000 feet
How do airplanes change altitude?
One of the main reasons is to conserve fuel. Airplanes can fly at any altitude and speed. However, airplanes generally tend to fly at high altitude to conserve fuel. This makes the plane more efficient and keeps the operating cost down. Of course, an airplane can not always fly at max altitude at every flight. It may have too much weight or the distance it travels may be too short. So there is always a trade-off as to how they will fly the route.
What is the max altitude does the airplane fly?
It depends what aircraft and what speed you are going
How high a commercial plane fly?
most commercial airplanes fly from 35,000 feet to 45,000 feet above sea level.
Which insect can fly faster than a jet plane?

What is the maximun speed of plane when it is flying?
