How do they get those pictures of aircrafts flying in the sky?

Question

u know when u see the ads or brochures of passenger aircrafts flying 30-40 thousand feet above the sky. are they just computer images made up or do they have acutaul planes that follow the huge aircraft and take pics?

if they have planes taking the pics, isn't that a waste of time and dangerous flying close? i never saw any planes when i travel?

Answer 1

The pictures are taken from another plane using a telephoto lens. The plane in the picture is probably on a training flight with no passengers anyway. If you see a plane out the window it probably has missiles under the wing and a pilot with no sense of humour;-)

Answer 2

In fact, they do have either helicopters or jet airplanes flying near them, take the picture. It is called a chase aircraft, and there are usually 2 or 3 of them right near them. the chase aircraft almost always have a special helicopter or fixed wing with robotic, turning cameras controlled from the inside, remotely. there is nobody hanging off the ladder of a helicopter with a kodak camera at thirty thousand feet, and I am 90% sure that they don't hire UFO's.

Answer 3

Well the government has created an alliance with a "nearby" Extra Terrestrial civilization. This civilization takes pictures and movies of our aircraft so that they can learn more about us. We in turn study their aircraft at Area 51 so that we can learn about and expand on their technology. All U.F.O. sightings are just 1. friendly E.T.'s taking pictures of our aircraft or 2. normal American people trying to fly the U.F.O.'s so that they can learn more about them.

Answer 4

I'm not sure, but I think that a person flying in another aircraft takes the photos.

Answer 5

Both. All the Pictures that you see of the 787 including the ones in Flight are CGI generated. We haven't yet flown that one. They also use chase planes and Helicopters.

Answer 6

Back when i was in a navy reconnaissance squadron and we would fly along side an aircraft and make pictures of it not to mention lots of other things we made pictures of.

Answer 7

They have planes to take the pictures.

Answer 8

mostly i think they use other planes to take picture but in some case if its not need really much they use software like photoshop to make the picture.

Answer 9

There are these gadgets of various kinds that take pictures . Cameras, they are called. They use them from other flying machines.

Answer 10

They hire UFOs to take the photos.
