Tag: cruising altitude

Atmospheric pressure decreases as we go above the ground. Low pressure creates more lift on the wings of the aircraft, due to which the aircraft can fly easily. Also, the air is less dense at higher altitudes, due to which the aircraft has to face less air resistance. This reduces fuel consumption and the plane can fly faster. There is more turbulence in the air near the ground, which can cause the aircraft to shake and cause discomfort to passengers. The air is cooler at higher altitudes, making travel more…
