why do planes fly so high
traditinal flight hight
35000 feet (10,6 km)
reasons
thinner air
planes go faster
saves cost
saves fuel
sweet spot
35000-42000 feet
42000 feet+
engines don't work
optimum attitude
different for each aircraft
weight
light aircrafts
under 10000 feet
most efficient
stratosphere
under the clouds
no bad weather
less turbulence
troposphere
in clouds
36000 feet
weather phenomenons
more turbulence
avoiding traffic
bad luck
engine problem
10000 feet
less time
harder to land
35000 feet
longer to deal with
easier to land
maximum flight hights
illegal to flight under 1000 feet
build up area
except take off and landing
500 feet
