Why do commercial airliners fly at 35000 feet?
A balance between operating costs and fuel efficiency is achieved somewhere around 35,000 feet, which is why commercial airplanes usually fly at that altitude. Commercial airplanes can climb to 42,000 feet, but going beyond that can be precarious, as the air starts to become too thin for optimum flight of the airplane.
How far can a plane fly without engines?
A passenger jet could glide for up to about 60 miles if it suffers a total engine failure at its cruising altitude. Here’s an example. A typical commercial aircraft has a lift to drag ratio of around 10:1. This means that for every 10 miles it travels forward it loses 1 mile in altitude.
