What else can I help you with?
What is a characteristics of altitude?
Well altitude is the distance above sea level. The higher the altitude, the less air pressure and temperature there's going to be.
What is angle measured above the altitude?
Altitude is the angle measured above the horizon.
Passenger airplanes cruise at an altitude of 11 000m on long flights. In which layer of the atmosphere do these airplanes cruise?
It really depends at what latitude the flight is operating. The lowest layer of the atmosphere, the troposphere, extends up to an altitude of about 23,000 feet (7km) at the poles, and an altitude of about 60,000 feet (17km) at the equator. Therefore, at the poles the aircraft would be flying above the troposhere, in the stratosphere. At the equator, though, the airplane would still be in the troposphere. As you go north or south from the equator, the maximum height of the troposhere (known as the tropopause) generally decreases from 17km to 7km. However, there are notable 'step' changes in the height of the tropopause, where there is a large change in temperature. This causes the high speed winds known as jetstreams, which aeroplanes use to improve journey times. At any location, the height of the tropopause (i.e. depth of the troposphere) is a function of temperature and air pressure/density. As it is warmer and pressure is lower at the equator, the tropopause is higher here than at the poles.
When weather satellites orbit Earth at an altitude of 1400000 meters What is the altitude in kilometers?
1,400,000 meters is the same as 1400km
Can you measure altitude in miles?
No. Latitude and longitude are angles.
How do ailerons affect an airplanes attitude?
ailerons bank (turn) an airplane left or right. the only change in altitude. the elevators (witch are located on the rear of a plane) changes your altitude
How the ailerons affect the airplane's attitude?
The ailerons make the plane bank (turn).
Why airplanes wings are folded at the edge?
Those are the ailerons which make it go up or down.
Are flaps the ailerons?
No. On MOST airplanes, ailerons are separate from flaps. Ailerons are used to help steer the airplane, while flaps are lowered to change the aerodynamic shape of the wing to provide more lift during take off and landing.
What other control surfaces does a plane have then elevators ailerons and the rudder?
Other than the elevators, ailerons, and rudder, airplanes have flaps (which cchange the lift and drag), spoilers (which change the lift, drag, and roll), and slats (which change the lift).
What altitude do passenger airplanes travel at?
From 28,000 to 33,000 feet.
What altitude do airplanes fly at over Greenland?
36,000 feet
Airplanes move at greater than cars?
Speed, altitude, and cost.
How do airplanes make banking turns?
The pilot turns the wheel slightly to operate the 'ailerons' and pushes the rudder pedals with his feet to turn the rudder behind the fin
At what altitude do you need to be to see the curvature of the earth?
To see the curvature of the Earth, you would need to be at an altitude of at least 35,000 feet, which is roughly the cruising altitude of commercial airplanes.
What altitude is required to see the curvature of the Earth?
The altitude needed to see the curvature of the Earth is typically around 35,000 feet or higher, which is the cruising altitude of commercial airplanes.
Why do airplanes get faster at high altitude?
less oxegen levels and air pressure.
