Fly High
Why do passenger planes fly so high in the atmosphere?
I know that commercial planes fly at over 10,000 metres in the air. Why cant they fly closer to the ground? Has it got something to do with airflow? pressure? updraft?
It is something that has always had me wondering
The air at the higher altitudes is thinner so the aircraft can work more efficiently at these altitudes. This means it is much more fuel efficient then at lower altitudes. Also this will usually get you above any inclement weather and make the trip much more enjoyable for the passengers.
