Helicopters are not very well suited to high altitude flight. By their very nature helicopters less suited for high altitudes than airplanes or balloons. Additionally, since the most common usages of helicopters deals in short hops or other low-altitude duties, modern helicopters aren't designed with high altitude flight in mind.
The stratosphere is generally agreed to start at about 30,000 feet altitude. While this is pretty near to the helicopter altitude record (in 2005 an Ecureuil/AStar AS 350 B3 helicopter landed on Mount Everest (29,035 feet)) This is far higher than the ceiling of the average helicopter (10 to 12,000 feet).
What else can I help you with?
Can helicopters fly in the stratosphere?
Helicopters are typically designed to fly in the troposphere, which is closer to the Earth's surface. The stratosphere begins at around 10 kilometers above sea level, and helicopters lack the necessary design and power to operate efficiently at that altitude.
Which layer of the atmosphere highest that an airplane can fly?
stratosphere
Could a helicopter take off from the moon?
No, a helicopter cannot take off from the moon because there is no atmosphere to generate lift for the rotor blades to work. Helicopters rely on air density to generate lift, and the lack of atmosphere on the moon makes it impossible for a helicopter to fly.
What layer of atmosphere do helicopters fly in?
Helicopters Can fly in the thermosphere and sometimes into space. I am a professor at Cambridge university and i am an expert in helicopter space flights.Call me at 320-567-5667 ^Whoever fking wrote this, I'm laughing so hard rn
Why cant planes fly lower than the stratosphere?
Planes can fly fifty feet off the ground if they need to. Commercial airliners fly in the stratosphere for two reasons: there's very little general aviation traffic up there (and most of the GA guys with planes who can fly that high are good pilots), and the plane is more efficient at that altitude.
Can helicopters fly in the stratosphere?
Helicopters are typically designed to fly in the troposphere, which is closer to the Earth's surface. The stratosphere begins at around 10 kilometers above sea level, and helicopters lack the necessary design and power to operate efficiently at that altitude.
Why can't helicopters fly into the stratosphere?
The air gets thinner as altitude increases, which in turn decreases the amount of lift an aircraft can get. The air in the stratosphere is far too thing for helicopters and most planes.
What do helicopters pilots do?
They fly helicopters.
Can you fly a plane in GTAIV?
You can fly helicopters.
Where do chp helicopters fly?
They fly in California.
What level of the atmosphere do airplanes fly in?
Stratosphere
How many hours can an helicopter fly?
There are many different helicopters. Most small civilian helicopters may fly for about an hour, but large passenger or military helicopters can fly for 6 hours or more.
Why do airplanes fly on the stratosphere?
Type your answer here... airplanes fly in the stratosphere to avoid weather problems
Can helicopters fly in the rain?
No
Why do you have helicopters?
so we can fly
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.
What do helicopters do that an airplane cant?
Helicopters can fly directly up or down.
