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.
How high to fly to Brunei?
Rewrite the question it doesn't make any sense. Most airliners on long flights anywhere fly at around 35,000 feet.
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.
Why do passenger aircraft fly at 45000 feet?
It is rare for airliners to fly that high, the general range is 35-40k feet. The reason they fly this high is because the air is less dense (pressure is lower) this allows the aircraft to travel faster and with less drag, thus increasing fuel efficiency.
Why is an airplane cabin air pressurized?
At altitudes above 10,000 feet there is not enough air for humans to breathe. Aircraft cabins are pressurized so the pressure is equal to that at about 7,000 feet. Commercial airliners fly at altitudes up to 40,000 feet.
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.
How did the 911 attack occur?
By hijacking commercial airliners to fly into selected targets.
How high does an airplaine fly?
No more than 49 miles high, because at 50 miles it becomes a space ship and the pilot gets his astronaut wings. Seriously, though, most commercial airliners fly between 35,000 and 40,000 feet, business jets can fly 50,000 feet, turboprops like King Airs and PC-12s fly up to 31,000 feet and piston planes stay below 18,000 feet. The SR-71 flew at about 80,000 feet.
What speed do planes fly?
Small planes fly at 100 to 200 mph. Airliners fly around 350 to 500 mph. Jet fighters fly faster.
What is a average speed of a plane?
Normal jet airliners fly at around 550 mph.
What is the average speed of a normal plane?
Normal jet airliners fly at around 550 mph.
What part of the atmosphere is the highest layer in which planes can fly?
It’s 45,000 ft for commercial airliners
