What is the crusing altitude of a commercial airliner?

Answer 1

last time i was on a jet...39,000

Answer 2

Depends on the airliner. It may start at 30,000 feet to 45,000 for some German Airlines. With the advent of space travel and advancing technologies the cruising altitude may increase as planes will be made to literally climb to a higher altitude (saving fuel and time) then descending over a long distance to land. Talk has been on future airlines that fly in space of an altitude of 100,000, but that still remains to be seen. Now that a commercial vehicle has reached the boundaries of space, it is only now a matter of time for commercial space travel.

Answer 3

I can see that most people have answered you question already and yes its anything between about 30 to 40 thousand feet but aircraft are usually seperated by about 2000 feet if flying in opposite directions and what flight level you are given depends on your heading this if i remember correctly changes about every 500 feet by every 90 degrees upto a certain level and then goes up by 1000 every 90 degrees above a certain higher lever i cant remember what they are though also Concorde was the only Airliner to have its own flight level which was flight level Six Zero or 60.000 feet basically Concord had its own airspace just as well as it was flying at twice the speed of sound and i beleive its call sign always started with speed bird followed by its destination flight number

Answer 4

2 straight forward causes. first and maximum spectacular is the price. those who in basic terms walked on an airplane and were exceeded a parachute, likely does not comprehend a thanks to operate it, and the shortcoming of parachutes by technique of the airways may be more effective than the price effectiveness of not providing them. the different reason, is that each and each body commercial airplane are pressurized. even as a airplane became in flight, you mustn't open the door in case you needed to, and by technique of the time the stress became equalized, to open the door, you likely may be able to bounce out besides.

Answer 5

It depends on the airway the aircraft takes, but for jet airliners usually varies between FL280 to FL350 (28000ft to 35000ft).

Answer 6

It's usually around 35,000 ft. but it depends on weather conditions and other factors. Pilots have to decide what specific altitude will be the best.

Answer 7

Depending on the distance and other factors such as weather it ranges between 18,000 (for close distances) up to 43,000 ft(for transatlantic flights)

Answer 8

Generally 30,000 to 40,000 feet.

Controllers give flights different altitudes - called "flight levels" - to maintain distance between planes.

Answer 9

Its usually around 35,000 ft but can range up to around 41,000 ft depending upon the aircraft and the routing that they get.

Answer 10

It all varies on the route, weather, and type of aircraft. When I flew to Cleveland on a B1900D from Pittsburgh, we flew at 11,000'. When I flew from Kansas City to Denver, we flew at 38,000'.

Answer 11

Generally around 36,000 feet due to performance dropping off dramatically as you go higher.
