The busiest airport in the world is Hartsfield–Jackson in Atlanta,Georgia, with over 93 million passengers annually. Approximately 725,000 aircraft land and take off from Hartsfield-Jackson yearly, just under 2,000 per day. O’Hare Airport in Chicago has non-stop flights to 214 destinations, ...
Sound travels at 770 miles per hour (345 meters per second) at sea level and under standard atmospheric conditions. For this discussion, we’ll use this speed as a baseline. It will change based on temperature and altitude. Airplanes, typically reserved for military aircraft, emit soundwaves ...
The B-2 can fly at just under Mach one and carry 40,000 pounds of ordinance, conventional or thermonuclear weapons, and can fly for over 6,000 miles before refueling. About 20 of these bombers have been produced to date, and they’ve been used in combat in Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan, ...

Commercial airplanes have a cruising altitude between 30,000 and 40,000 feet—and it has to do with the air.
$40,000; POP: 5, of which one was Wright-powered [CH-169], one as GA-43J with 600hp P&W Wasp (load: 2995# v: 160/145/60) to SwissAir [HBITU], and one under (2-477) on floats with 660hp P&W Hornet T1 to PAA [X13904]. Prototype had a fixed gear, which was later ...

Composites were used to build parts of the interior, doors, and tail, too, and to give the all-new wing design a dramatic flex under load. A fly-by-wire flight system replaces a traditional hydraulic/bleed air power systems in favor of electric servos to manipulate control surfac...
Finally there was this: the next-highest standard altitude for their direction of flight was 37,000 feet, which was shown on a screen as the current “recommended maximum,” or REC MAX. This was an altitude where, under current conditions, the performance margins would be tight, because the...
