Which layer of the atmosphere highest that an airplane can fly?

stratosphere


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 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.


In which layer of atmosphere do the aeroplanes fly?

Airplanes typically fly in the lower part of the stratosphere, which is located above the troposphere. This layer extends from about 10 to 50 kilometers (6 to 31 miles) above the Earth's surface. Flying in the stratosphere allows planes to avoid most weather disturbances and turbulence found in the troposphere, providing a smoother flight experience.


Which layer of the atmosphere is the highest than airplane can fly?

Airplanes typically fly in the lower part of the stratosphere, which extends from about 10 kilometers (6 miles) to around 50 kilometers (31 miles) above sea level. The highest commercial flights generally reach altitudes of about 12 to 13 kilometers (around 39,000 to 43,000 feet), well within the stratosphere. Above the stratosphere lies the mesosphere, where altitudes exceed those typically flown by commercial aircraft.
