About 4.2 miles.
The trajectory for this flying paper airplane is high.
The airplane was flying at a very high altitude.
When a plane is flying at high altitudes, you weigh slightly less due to a combination of factors, primarily the reduction in gravitational pull and the effects of acceleration. At higher elevations, the distance from the Earth's center increases, which slightly decreases gravitational force. Additionally, during flight, the plane's acceleration can create a sensation of weightlessness, particularly during maneuvers or turbulence, making it feel as though your weight is reduced.
high speed travel like flying on an airplane
Wax paper works good for strong, high-flying planes.
Airplanes do not fly high enough to be unaffected by the force of gravity.
40000 feet = 7.6 miles
A person would experience the least atmospheric pressure at high altitudes, such as on top of a mountain or in an airplane flying at high altitude.
at that alltitude there is less air so there is less drag from ther air.
Most planes fly in one layer of the atmosphere called the troposphere. High flying aircraft can fly into the stratosphere
We cannot see the shadow of an airplane flying high in the sky because the altitude is too great for the shadow to be cast clearly on the ground. The sunlight is typically too diffuse at that height, and the shadow is often too small and faint to be noticeable. Additionally, the ground beneath the airplane is vast and uneven, making it difficult for the shadow to appear distinct. Lastly, atmospheric conditions and obstacles on the ground can further obscure any potential shadow.
