The average cruising altitude for passenger planes typically ranges from 30,000 to 40,000 feet (about 9,000 to 12,200 meters). Most commercial jets cruise at around 35,000 feet, where the air is thinner, allowing for better fuel efficiency and smoother flight. This altitude also helps to avoid weather disturbances and air traffic.
What else can I help you with?
If two planes at cruising altitude have a collision in midair what conclusion can you draw?
Boom!
Do planes fly over the Alps?
Modern passenger jets have a normal cruising altitude of 30,000 feet/9000 meters - much higher than the tallest mountains in the world. They have no problem flying over the Alps or any other mountain range.
What is the worlds fastest passenger plane?
Before the Concorde's retirement it was the fastest passenger plane, cruising at Mach 2.02 (~1320mph). Now the fastest planes are the 787 and A380, optimized for Mach 0.85 (~567mph).
What height planes fly?
The cruising altitude of a commercial jet is 9,000 Meter. (29,527 Feet) But they can and do go up to 12,000 Meters (39,370 feet) 32,000 to 37,000 feet
What happens to your planes altitude if you do a chandelle?
Altitude increases.
What is the average altitude a helicopter may fly at?
Helicopters fly somewhat close to the ground. They fly near the troposphere. They fly at a lower altitude than planes.
How high does the average plain fly in km?
An average plane flies between 5 to 10 km above the surface of the earth. Planes cannot fly below or above the altitude. After this altitude there is not much air.
What is the average seating capacity on an airplane?
Small commercial passenger planes = 42 to 75 Medium sized planes = 150 to 200 Bigger planes = 550 to 800 (e.g. Airbus A380)
Why don't the planes used by sky divers depressurize when the door is opened unlike passenger planes where it happens?
Because the planes are not pressurized. No need to pressurize an airplane flying at such a low altitude. Once a plane reaches around 12,000 feet it becomes necessary to pressurize the cabin.
Fedex airline have passenger planes or not?
No Fedex does not have passenger planes. Although their cargo planes do have a few passenger seats, these are used only for transporting Fedex employees and/or flight crews.
Are the planes with six engines passenger planes?
Usaly
Can a passenger plane fly 55000 feet above high winds?
Passenger planes can't fly at 55,000 feet. Gulfstream business jets can fly 51,000 feet altitude, and airliners like to cruise at 35,000 feet. Some military planes, like the U-2, can fly at 55,000 feet or greater.
