Why do planes fly in the stratosphere and not in the troposphere?

Design and structural flaws determine the "absolute ceiling" of any particular aircraft, which is why some can fly at higher altitudes than others.
The SPACE SHUTTLE, for example, can fly at virtually unlimited heights, and it technically qualifies as an "airplane."

What layer do jets and planes fly in?
Stratosphere and Troposphere
Can airplanes fly in the stratoshpere?
Most passenger airplanes fly in the stratosphere. Planes like Cessna fly near the troposphere. It depends on the size and sound of the planes.
Into which layer of the atmosphere are jet airplane able to travel?
The stratosphere
Which layer of the atmosphere do jet planes fly in upper troposphere or lower statospher or upper statosphere?
To avoid turbulence, most commercial jets fly in the upper layer of the troposphere, which varies in height depending on latitude, typically 40,000 feet (5 km). This is on the border of the tropopause, just above the troposphere, and the lower layer of the stratosphere in some cases.
What is airplane flying level?
Airplanes fly at different levels according to their size and noise. Smaller planes fly at the troposphere. Bigger airplanes fly on the stratosphere.
Why do planes fly in troposphere?
Planes do not fly in Troposphere. They fly in Stratosphere. The above answer is not true.. Commercial airplanes do fly in Troposphere. Troposphere has the highest density, pressure of all regions . Commercial flights are flying at about 11000m which is about 30 000++ Ft. the temp drop is about 6.5 degree at every 1000 m. Greatest weather and climate changes happen here.. The Troposphere is by far the most important region to general aviation as nearly all flying take place here.. unless its a spy plane or weather balloon where it goes above 14.5 KM into the stratosphere. Fighter jets also do fly into the stratosphere.
How many layers do we have where the airplane flies and their names?
Most planes fly in one layer of the atmosphere called the troposphere. High flying aircraft can fly into the stratosphere
What layer in the atmosphere do pilots prefer to fly in?
Airlines prefer to fly in the troposphere and spy planes or supersonic jets fly in the stratosphere. And also so they can avoid storms. they fly in the stratosphere because it contains the jet stream
Which layer of the atmosphere do geese fly in?
a flock of geese would fly in the troposphere. it would be too hot to fly in the stratosphere.
Do planes fly in the stratosphere?
no
Can helicopters fly in the stratosphere?
No, Helicopters cannot fly in Stratosphere. It is too high for them. They do not produce that much lift. But they can fly in the Troposphere.
What is in the Stratosphere IE ozone layer planes?
The planes fly in the Stratosphere. Ozone layer is also there.
