Description: Buy AumSum Merchandise: aumsum.com How High can Airplanes Fly? Commercial Airplanes fly at altitudes ranging between 30,000 to 36,000 feet above the sea level. Do you know why? Let me Explain. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, flying at such an altitude places the Airplane in the lower stratosphere of planet Earth. Lower stratosphere is located above the clouds. This helps in protecting the airplane against bad weather. Secondly, the air in the lower stratosphere is much thinner as compared to the air near the surface of the Earth. Thinner the air, lesser the resistance for the airplane. This results in higher fuel efficiency for the airplane. Hence commercial Airplanes fly so high.
