Common sub-sonic passenger aircraft can only get to a ceiling (this is not their maximum height) height of 43,000 feet, they can go higher, but that is the comfortable cruising altitude. Space Craft under the Aerospace engineering concept can go as high as they wish, and there is Military Super-Sonic air craft, their ceiling is anything from 30,000 to 60,000 feet.

Why high altitude for aircraft and not 1000ft?

The higher an aircraft is the less air in the atmosphere. this means less air resistance which means you can go faster with less effort. also less air means less fuel burnt for same power. this saves fuel. for this reason most aircraft will operate at high altitudesThere are also fewer obstructions at high altitude than there are at 1000 feet.

What is the best wing design for a self propelled plane?

A straight wing is good for a low-powered, slow moving aircraft. A straight, thick wing is good for short takeoff and landing aircraft, and high-speed, high-thrust aircraft need a swept wing.
