High altitude passenger plane, artwork
High altitude passenger plane. Computer artwork of a passenger plane flying above the stratosphere. At this height, passengers are able to view the curvature of the Earth and the darkness of space. Aircraft are also able to fly faster and reduce travelling times between destinations due to reduced friction in the thinner atmosphere. Most commercial passenger planes fly at an altitude between 6, 000 and 12, 000 metres. Spyplanes such as the U-2 and SR-71 Blackbird are able to fly above 21, 000 metres. The Earths stratosphere extends to 50, 000 metres

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a high altitude passenger plane soaring gracefully above the stratosphere, beautifully captured through computer artwork. As it reaches such heights, passengers on board are treated to an awe-inspiring view of the Earth's curvature and the vast darkness of space. This extraordinary experience is made possible by the thinner atmosphere at these altitudes, allowing aircraft to fly faster and significantly reduce travel times between destinations due to reduced friction. While most commercial passenger planes operate within altitudes ranging from 6,000 to 12,000 meters, this artwork reminds us that there are exceptional spyplanes like the U-2 and SR-71 Blackbird capable of surpassing 21,000 meters. The Earth's expansive stratosphere extends up to an astonishing 50,000 meters. The illustration not only highlights advancements in aviation technology but also sparks our imagination about future possibilities such as space tourism. It symbolizes mankind's relentless pursuit of exploration beyond our planet's boundaries and offers a glimpse into what could be achieved in outer atmosphere journeys. Through this visually striking image created by Science Photo Library, we can appreciate both the engineering marvels behind air transportation and its potential for opening new frontiers in human travel. Let your mind wander as you contemplate the wonders that await us when we dare to venture higher than ever before.
