Helicopters typically fly at altitudes ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 feet for general operations, though this can vary based on the mission and location. For emergency medical services or law enforcement, they may fly lower for better visibility and access. In some cases, helicopters can reach altitudes of up to 10,000 feet, but this is less common due to reduced air density and potential altitude-related issues. Overall, operational altitude is influenced by factors like terrain, weather, and air traffic regulations.
Yes, helicopters fly high when on long journeys.
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.
They fly helicopters.
Because the air gets too thin.
usually helicopters that are operational at high altitudes, that are reliable, and that are cheap (small).
You can fly helicopters.
They fly in California.
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.
