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.


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.


Which layer of the atmosphere do jet planes fly in upper troposphere or lower statospher or upper statosphere?

Jet planes typically fly in the lower stratosphere. This layer of the atmosphere extends from about 10 to 50 kilometers above the Earth's surface. The lower stratosphere is where commercial jet aircraft operate due to its stable weather conditions and relatively low turbulence levels.


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.


Into which layer of the atmosphere are jet airplane able to travel?

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


Do planes fly in the stratosphere?

no


What is in the Stratosphere IE ozone layer planes?

The planes fly in the Stratosphere. Ozone layer is also there.


What are the layers of the atmopsphere?

They are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere. Hope this helps, I'm only nine!! ☺ The troposphere is closest to Earth where weather happens. The stratosphere is where planes fly to get away from bad weather. That's most of the main things!☺☺☺


Why do most airplanes travel in stratosphere?

Most aircraft do not travel in the stratosphere. Some military and passenger jets fly in the stratosphere, but most aircraft fly in the troposphere, below the stratosphere.
