yes most civilian aircraft fly only in the troposphere as because of the density of the air the wing can generate lift very easily as long as the wing is a suitable shape. The troposphere is only about 12Km in vertical height

Into which layer of the atmosphere are jet airplane able to travel?

The stratosphere


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

Airplanes fly in the Stratosphere, which is the second major layer of the Earth's atmosphere. It is below the mesosphere and above the troposphere. It is stratified in temperature, with warmer layers higher up and cooler layers farther down. This is in contrast to the troposphere near the Earth's surface, which is cooler higher up and warmer farther down. The winds in the stratosphere run parallel to the Earth in fast moving air streams. 


What Atmosphere layer do humans live most of their lives?

Humans live most of their lives in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere and where weather events occur. The troposphere is where we breathe, experience weather changes, and where most commercial jets fly.


What are things you could find in the troposphere?

In the troposphere, you can find weather phenomena like clouds, rain, and thunderstorms. It is also where most of the Earth's breathable air and weather patterns occur. Additionally, airplanes fly in this layer, and pollution and greenhouse gases are trapped in the troposphere, contributing to air quality and climate change.


What are the names of the two lowest layers of the atmosphere?

The two lowest layers of the atmosphere are the troposphere and the stratosphere. The troposphere is where weather phenomena occur and contains most of the Earth's gases. The stratosphere is above the troposphere and contains the ozone layer, which helps protect us from the sun's harmful rays.

Can airplanes fly in the stratoshpere?

Most passenger airplanes fly in the stratosphere. Planes like Cessna fly near the troposphere. It depends on the size and sound of the planes.


Info about the Troposphere?

Well,it is the first "sphere" in earth's atmosphere. Also where we see weather. Planes do fly in the troposphere. ( the air we breathe, it's in the troposphere )


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.


What is airplane flying level?

Airplanes fly at different levels according to their size and noise. Smaller planes fly at the troposphere. Bigger airplanes fly on the stratosphere.


Why do planes fly in troposphere?

Planes do not fly in Troposphere. They fly in Stratosphere. The above answer is not true.. Commercial airplanes do fly in Troposphere. Troposphere has the highest density, pressure of all regions . Commercial flights are flying at about 11000m which is about 30 000++ Ft. the temp drop is about 6.5 degree at every 1000 m. Greatest weather and climate changes happen here.. The Troposphere is by far the most important region to general aviation as nearly all flying take place here.. unless its a spy plane or weather balloon where it goes above 14.5 KM into the stratosphere. Fighter jets also do fly into the stratosphere.


In a airplane without alitmeterhow do you know when you are approaching the troposphere?

Most planes fly in the troposphere anyway but without an altimeter you could take temperature readings as those vary by altitude.


How many layers do we have where the airplane flies and their names?

Most planes fly in one layer of the atmosphere called the troposphere. High flying aircraft can fly into the stratosphere


Why do planes fly in the stratosphere and not in the troposphere?

Design and structural flaws determine the "absolute ceiling" of any particular aircraft, which is why some can fly at higher altitudes than others.The SPACE SHUTTLE, for example, can fly at virtually unlimited heights, and it technically qualifies as an "airplane."


Do aeroplanes fly in the troposphere?

Yes, aeroplanes fly in the troposphere


Are planes safe?

Planes are not perfect but they are not the worst to fly in because it can be safe but it cant be sometimes most of the time it is great to fly in so most of the time planes are safe.


Which layer of the atmosphere do jet planes fly in upper troposphere or lower statospher or upper statosphere?

Jet planes typically fly in the lower stratosphere. This layer of the atmosphere extends from about 10 to 50 kilometers above the Earth's surface. The lower stratosphere is where commercial jet aircraft operate due to its stable weather conditions and relatively low turbulence levels.
