In most cases that is planned to find optimum 'jetstreams' headed in the right direction.
Most fly between 30,000 and 50,000 feet.
In order to fly, airplanes use aerofoil-shaped wings. An aerofoil is a shape that forms higher pressure beneath than above, pushing the plane up. The engine helps to accelerate the aircraft to a high enough speed to overcome gravity.
Jet airplanes fly at high altitudes because it is more fuel efficient. Flying at higher altitudes uses less fuel than flying at lower altitudes.
Planes stay in flight because of bernoulli's principle. When air passes over a airplanes wing. The air that goes on the top of the wing moves faster than the air the goes on the bottom. Thsi auses a low pressure system above the wing and a high pressure system beneath the wing. The high pressure below the wing pushes the airplane up allowing it to fly.
Because cats do not have the capability to fly airplanes.
Because people are not able to fly without a airplanes.
No, there is too much atmospheric drag at these heights for a satellite to maintain an orbit, but it is too high for airplanes which have 'air breathing' engines. Some high altitude planes such as the SR-71 Blackbird and U2 can fly up to 25km, but not as high as 50km which is the lower boundary for the Mesosphere. Some experimental rocket planes such as the X-15 have been able reach these heights.
You are unable to fly airplanes, however you can fly helicopters.
they fly almost above 15km, where atmospheric pressure is very low.
most commercial airplanes fly from 35,000 feet to 45,000 feet above sea level.
Bernoulli's principle states that as the speed of a fluid increases, its pressure decreases. This principle helps explain how airplanes can generate lift: as air flows faster over the top of an airplane wing, its pressure decreases, creating a pressure difference that lifts the wing upward.
