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 altitudes
There are also fewer obstructions at high altitude than there are at 1000 feet.
What else can I help you with?
What effect does high density altitude have on aircraft performance?
It reduces climb performance.
What does the SR 71 blackbird do?
It was a high altitude, very fast recconnaisance aircraft
What is the sr71 aircraft?
The SR 71 was a very secret high speed, high altitude reconnaisance aircraft. Only 32 were built, at enormous cost.
What tells you how high a plane is flying?
An altimeter (altitude meter) tells the pilots how high the aircraft is flying. There are 2 types of altimeters commonly used in aircraft: pressure altimeters and radar altimeters.
Why traces of smokes when aircraft fly in high altitude?
That is condensation from hot engines in cold air.
What has the author James L Bettner written?
James L. Bettner has written: 'Propulsion system assessment for very high altitude UAV under ERAST' -- subject(s): Performance tests, Pilotless aircraft, High altitude, Aircraft design, Propulsion system
What does the sign mean highway intersection 1000ft?
High machinery
Purpose of the SR-71 Blackbird?
The SR-71 is a high-altitude, high-speed reconnaissance aircraft. It carries high performance cameras used in spying.
What is a high altitude static discharge?
Well I think iM not sure that high altitude discharge its when the charged solar particles acumulate and the lighting occurs and the gorgeuus celestial phenomenon resulting from this effect its the aurora
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.
At what altitude does the aircraft arrive to operate and fly?
Aircraft typically arrive at an altitude of around 30,000 to 40,000 feet to operate and fly.
What is service ceiling of an aircraft?
The service ceiling of an aircraft is the maximum altitude that the aircraft can safely maintain.
