What type of clouds are wispy and occur at very high altitudes'?
Cirrocumulus cloud is a clous that often appears at high altitudes.
Why at high altitude the amount of oxygen decreases due to increase of carbon dioxide?
Most airplanes fly at high altitude because it is faster and safer as long as the cabin is pressurized. There is less clouds and turbulence. The airplane uses less fuel.
Does altitude affect clocks?
yesclocks tick faster at high altitudes
Whats the name for thin feathery clouds at high altitudes?
cirrus
What type of cloud forms at high altitudes and appears wispy and feathery?
cirrus
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.
Why are airplane cabins pressurized?
Airplane cabins are pressurized because humans cannot breath at a very high elevation.Aircraft are pressurized to allow them to fly higher. Without pressurization, the amount of oxygen in the air would not be sufficient for humans to breathe.
An airplane specifically designed to fly to high altitudes may have?
an added tank
Why do they pressurize airplanes?
Well a simple answer would be that if a plane is not pressurized, on high altitudes or just very high in the sky, the plane will expand like a balloon and if it expands to much, big problems happen and I don't really know how it is pressurized but the air inside the plane is usually very different than the air outside the plane, at high altitudes.
Why do passenger aircraft have pressurized cabins?
To allow passengers to breathe sufficient oxygen, needed to survive, even in high altitudes.
Why must airplanes be pressurized?
At the high altitudes which airliners fly in, there is less dense. Since air is good for us humans, the cabin is pressurized in order to provide enough air to breathe.
What are diadvantages of a piston engine?
For an airplane it vibrates a lot and it needs a super- or turbocharger at high altitudes
Why jet engines are used at high altitudes?
For thrust. Engines are used to overcome the drag of the airplane.
What is a challenge that the engineer of a high-altitude airplane would need to consider?
The airplane may succumb to the power of gravity as lift decreases at higher altitudes.
What challenge that the engineer of a high altitude airplane would need to consider?
The airplane may succumb to the power of gravity as lift decreases at higher altitudes.
Why must airplane cabins be pressurized?
Because at altitudes above 10,000 feet there is not enough air for humans to breathe. Aircraft cabins are pressurised so that the internal pressure is equal to that at about 7,000 feet.
Why are airplanes pressurized?
Most air planes are pressurized, because at high altitudes, the air pressure is less than humans can handle, which causes us to black out. Bad vacation when your pilot blacks out at 30,000 feet!
