After the maximum altitude is reached the preesure is so much that the pilot cant go farther. If he goes more than the maximum altitude he will lose consiousness.

What is service ceiling of an aircraft?
The service ceiling of an aircraft is the maximum altitude that the aircraft can safely maintain.
What is the Airbus A380 cruise altitude?
35,000ft (A380-800, initial cruise altitude). The service ceiling (maximum altitude) of this aircraft is 43,000 ft.
What is the maximum flying altitude for unpressurized aircraft when transporting a patient suffering decompression sickness?
zero feet
What is maximum altitude?
There are two types of maximum altitude. The first is set by the FAA and is known as Service Ceiling and the second is the maximum altitude, above sea level, at which an aircraft can maintain horizontal flight under standard atmospheric conditions. This is called Absolute Ceiling. Absolute ceiling is also affected by another factor: weight.
Maximum altidude for military jet?
The maximum altitude of any military aircraft is dependent on many things including the type of craft. The maximum altitude for a military jet is approximately 60 thousand feet. At that level the flight crew will need special equipment to allow them to breathe and stay conscious in the thin air.
What is an absolute ceiling?
An absolute ceiling is the maximum altitude above sea level at which an aircraft or missile can maintain horizontal flight under normal conditions.
How high does an airplane go in the sky?
Depending on the type of airframe and aircraft would tell you the maximum altitude an aircraft can obtain. Even then, specific aircraft (i.e. jets, propeller powered planes, biplanes) all have different maximum altitudes or ceilings. To answer the question, what aircraft has the most unrestricted ceiling?, that is the SR-71 Black hawk with a ceiling of roughly 80,000 feet. *NOTE: Because of the high altitude and air pressure, pilots need a special suit and mask that provides them with protection from the upper recesses of the atmosphere
What is a cruising altitude why?
Cruising altitude is an economical height for an aircraft to fly. It is also a choice made in view of other aircraft routes.
What is the highest altitude aircraft?
the vagna 137
What is the maximum altitude that a aeroplane can achieve?
You will have to be more specific as there are many factors to consider ie:- Type of aircraft Piston engine Piston engine turbo charged Jet engined
Why are aircraft flights sometimes identified as heavy?
Aircraft have a maximum weight they can lift for a given altitude, so if they are on the limit of their weight allowance, they will be described as 'heavy'. However this is not to be confused with a heavy lift capacity, which is a large aircraft that can haul large and heavy items, such aircraft are generally used by the military for transporting and rapidly deploying such items as Tanks.
What is different between transition altitude and transitionlevel?
The diference is simple, the transition altitude is the altitude above sea level at wich the aircraft change from the use of altitude to the use of flight level. When operating above the transition altitude, the aircraft altimeters pressure seting is normally adjusted to the standard pressure setting wich is 1013 millibars in europe, or 29.92 inches of mercury in US, or Canada. There the aircraft altitude will be expressed as a flight level.
