Can Airplanes Fly Over Hurricanes?
Показать описание
Hurricanes have long been the cause of flight cancellations, especially in regions with severe hurricane seasons. Yet, modern aircraft have been designed to withstand much of the challenges brought by such strong storms.
Surprisingly, flying over a hurricane is actually possible. Hurricanes are tropical cyclone that generally occurs over the Atlantic Ocean and the northeast of the Pacific Ocean. They usually inhabit the area close to the ground. When we say ‘close’, we mean like 20,000 – 30,000 feet or so in, in the case of a moderate storm. The majority of the disruption, therefore, occurs at ground level. Around the storm, airports will close, and airlines will not take off or land. But high above the storm itself, it is possible for aircraft to fly over the storm.
So, if the hurricane is not too tall, then it is, in theory, possible for aircraft to file a flight plan that takes them up and over away from the disruption. However, severe hurricanes can grow much taller, sometimes up to 50,000 feet or more. This would make it impossible to fly over the weather in a commercial aircraft of any kind.
