How high can the plane fly?

The highest flying plane in the world is the American X- 15A research testing machine. 196 1 On March 30th, 2008, Joseph Volcker, a NASA test pilot, flew the plane to an altitude of 516.95 million meters, and on April 30th, 2002, the plane flew to an altitude of 75 195 million meters. 17 On July 30th, He thus became the first "astronaut flying an airplane" in the world. According to the regulations of NASA, an astronaut can be summoned if he flies more than 80,000 meters. On August 22nd, 1963, he flew over Edward Air Force Base again108000m.

Medium-sized and above civil aircraft fly at high altitude, which means the space at an altitude of 7000- 12000 meters. In this space, 1 km is taken as 1 height layer, and * * is divided into six height layers: 7 km, 8 km, 9 km, 65438+100001. Aircraft flying at high altitude are only allowed to fly above a given altitude.

In addition, when civil aircraft are flying, the zero-degree boundary is due south and due north, and all aircraft flying to the right (east) fly to even-numbered high floors, namely, 8km, 1 1,000m and 1 1,000m; Any aircraft flying to the left (west) will fly to odd-numbered altitude layers, that is, 7 km, 9 km, 100 1 km.

For example, a civil aviation plane flies from Beijing to Hangzhou, which is located in the southeast of Beijing. The plane part flies to even floors and returns to odd floors. Another example is that the plane flies from Shenyang to Hangzhou, which is in the southwest of Shenyang. The plane will fly to odd floors and return to even floors. In this way, planes flying in opposite directions are not at the same height, thus avoiding collision.

Maximum flying altitude of different aircraft

Aircraft on short-haul routes generally fly from 6000 meters to 9600 meters, and aircraft on long-haul routes generally fly from 8000 meters to 12600 meters. At present, the highest flying height of ordinary civil airliners will not exceed 12600 meters, and some business jets can reach 15000 meters.

Why are civil aviation crew and passengers not equipped with parachutes?

The flying height of civil aviation aircraft is much higher than that of skydiving, and the air is thin and ultra-low altitude.

Down to the height of survival (4000 meters), the body has become hard, even with the plane.

If you descend to the low altitude, the strong relative airflow with a speed of about 400 kilometers per hour will also blow the skydiver to the tail wing.

Dead, so most planes used for skydiving have their tails open. What's more, when an untrained person parachutes to the ground,

Almost like jumping off a building, civil aviation crew and passengers are not equipped with parachutes.

Civil aviation: Short-haul airlines generally fly from 6,000 meters to 9,600 meters, and long-haul airlines generally fly from 8,000 meters to12,600 meters. At present, the highest flying height of ordinary civil airliners will not exceed 12600 meters, and some business jets can reach 15000 meters.

I don't know anything about the army. The flying heights of different types of aircraft in different countries are different, and some of them are even confidential.
