How often do airplanes accidents happen?
This answer can vary depending if you include private airplanes or only passenger airliners. For good data and specific details of accidents, go to the NTSB website. This site has statistics and report of accident investigations. Link: www.ntsb.gov
What is called the airplanes garage?
The waste from the toilets is often referred to as the airplanes garbage.
In which layer of the earth's atmosphere is most water vapor located?
The Troposphere
Do helicopters crash more often than airplanes?
no
What do you call the vehicle that pushes airplanes?
This is often referred to as a "tug".
Does the navy use airplanes?
The US Navy, as well as the navies of other nations make use of airplanes. The airplanes are often deployed from aircraft carriers. The navy does not necessarily have the same types of or capacity for airplanes as, say, the Air Force.

How does the temperature change as you go higher into the sky?
The layers Earth's Atmosphere from closest to farthest: Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere. (It is often argued whether the Exosphere is actually part of the atmosphere or not. The amount of scientists who believe and don't is about 50-50.)As you ascend into the sky, the atmospheric temperature follows a cold-hot pattern.The temperature in the Troposphere is cooler as you go up. Above the Troposphere is the Stratosphere. The Stratosphere is significantly warmer and more dry than the Troposphere. Above the Stratosphere is the Mesosphere. The Mesosphere is the coldest layer of the Atmosphere at negative 130 degrees Fahrenheit. Above the Mesosphere is the Thermosphere. The Thermosphere is the hottest layer of the Atmosphere at approximately 2,700 degrees Fahrenheit. Above the Thermosphere is the Exosphere. The Exosphere is extremely thin and where the Atmosphere merges with outer space. It's comprised of widely dispersed particles of Hydrogen and Helium.
Do robots fly airplanes?
well, in my experiences in the air force, robots not only fly airplanes, the crash them as well. On a more serious not, they often fertilize the airplanes using robo-seaman, which is derived from a navy invention
What do rc model airplanes look like/?
Remote Control model airplanesd often look just like real airplanes. Enthusiasts will build their models to scale exactly as a real airplane and often paint them the same as well.
Why do jet airplanes often fiy in the stratosphere?
Efficiency. A jet engine works best in thin air.
Which atmospheric layer has the greatest air pressure?
It's the troposphere because :The troposphere contains 75 per cent of the atmosphere's gas. It also holds huge amounts of dust and water vapor, and is often dense with clouds and mist. Air pressure is greatest in the troposphere, because gravity pulls the atmosphere towards the Earth, squeezing most of its weight into this lowest layer.
