The Concorde did not travel lower than the stratosphere primarily due to the need to avoid excessive air resistance and turbulence that occur in the denser air of the lower atmosphere. Operating at higher altitudes, typically around 60,000 feet, allowed the aircraft to achieve optimal speed and fuel efficiency while minimizing drag. Additionally, flying at stratospheric levels helped reduce noise pollution over populated areas, as the sonic boom created by supersonic travel was less disruptive at higher altitudes.
What else can I help you with?
What are the characteristics of this layer that makes it the ideal layer for the Concorde to travel?
The stratosphere is the ideal layer for the Concorde to travel due to its high altitude, which reduces air resistance, allowing for faster speeds. Additionally, the stratosphere's stable atmospheric conditions provide smooth flying conditions for the Concorde, enhancing passenger comfort. The stratosphere also offers lower turbulence and less weather disturbances, enabling efficient and safe travel for the supersonic aircraft.
Why wouldn't an airplane travel lower than the stratosphere?
They do! Where do you think they take off from??
Into which layer of the atmosphere are jet airplane able to travel?
The stratosphere
The upper stratosphere is cooler than the lower stratosphere.?
Is the upper stratosphere is cooler than the lower stratosphere?\
Why would not the Concorde travel lower?
I could while landing, but the higher the aircraft the thinner the aircraft could travel faster. Also, the engines on a Concorde were extremely loud, so it flew higher so it wasn't a nuisance.
Is the upper stratosphere is cooler than the lower stratosphere?
Yes, the upper stratosphere is cooler than the lower stratosphere. This is because the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by ozone in the upper stratosphere creates a temperature inversion, where the temperature increases with altitude.
Why wouldn't the Concorde travel lower?
Because people don't like (Most people, anyway) the noise of the "Sonic Boom"
Is the upper stratosphere cooler than the lower stratosphere?
Is the upper stratosphere is cooler than the lower stratosphere?\
Is the upper stratosphere colder then the lower stratosphere?
Yes, the upper stratosphere is colder than the lower stratosphere. This is because the stratosphere is heated from below by the Earth's surface, so as you move higher in the atmosphere, the temperature decreases. The temperature inversion between the lower and upper stratosphere is due to the absorption of solar radiation by ozone in the upper stratosphere.
Do jet stream occur in the mesosphere?
No. The jet stream is in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere.
Is the upper stratosphere colder than the lower stratosphere?
Yes, the upper stratosphere is generally colder than the lower stratosphere. This is because the stratosphere's temperature increases with altitude due to the absorption of solar radiation by ozone in the lower stratosphere. However, the temperature starts to decrease again in the upper stratosphere due to the cooling effect of gases like ozone and molecular oxygen.
Why wouldn't Concorde travel lower?
It was a very fast huge plane. I saw it land once while waiting for a flight in Europe and it was very distinctive plane.
