I've been on 3 night time helicopter flights. Car wreck in 2003, life flighted to UT Med. 2009 abruption with twin pregnancy, life flighted to Central Baptist Hosp. in Lexington. 2019 another car accident, and subsequent night flight to UT Med.

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.


Why do the helicopter fly around every night?

Helicopters may be flying at night for various reasons, such as law enforcement patrols, medical emergencies, search and rescue missions, or military training exercises. It's best to check with local authorities or heliports for specific information on the helicopters flying in your area.


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?

Can helicopters fly into the stratosphere?

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).
