They aren't fast enough to break free of the earth's gravitational pull. |

No. It's not possible. |

No way!
It wouldn't have enough fuel, the engine would stop, it will not go fast enough, and gravity would pull it down |
|
Deadnight

no, they wouldn't even get close |

No. Unless it is traveling 17,500 per hour then it will go into orbit around the earth. To escape earth's gravitational pull it would need to go 25,950 miles per hour. |

nope not possible...gravity and pressure is against the possiblility of that happening |
|

no! translate to espanol "no way jose"
its not possible. |

No. There isn't enough thrust to propel it forward. It doesn't go straight up. And it can not obtain escape or orbital velocity. It also doesn't have an combustion chamber. It contains the explosion the plane will have for the high pressure. For every action there is a reaction. Also to burn fuel you would have to have oxygen stored with that. Because you can't burn fuel with out oxygen. |

Just some guy

no because air pressure is too low to carry the plane when it gets much higher in the atmosphere and after a certain point, it cant get any faster at that altitude, and therefore cant gain altitude. and if it went into space, assuming it wasnt really moving, gravity would just pull it back down, because it exists even in space. |

No the Airplane does not have enough thrust to achive escape velocity. |

I don't think so. Going through the atmosphere takes a lot of speed and plenty of insulation. An airplane by itself, I believe, would not make it through....It would blow up or catch fire... |

no sir.. |

haha no, but yeah when i fly i see the moon right there but remember it far far away.. lol. you saw that in a movie, its a movie, movies are made for entertainment. |

Wouldn't the gravity pull it back down or the atmosphere burn it or something?? ...i dont think so. the speed of the plane and the velocity of which its travelling isnt enough to pull out of earth's gravitational pull....
or something like that o__O |

Nah, the air is too thin the higher up you go, so eventually the engines would just stop because there would be no air, and down would go the plane. |
|
Zach
|
Nope they don't go that high |
|
Arnulfo
|
no the gravity from the earth would pull it back in and it would stall and possibly lose control and nose dive into the ground |

Airplanes are able to fly because air moving under their wings is strong enough to hold them up. If you could slice across an airplane wing, you would see it is curved over the top and flat on the bottom. As the plane's engines push the wing forward, air moves over and under the wing. Because the top of the wing is curved and the bottom is flat, the air going above has a little farther to travel than the air going below. The air molecules on top are thus a little farther apart, making the air there a little thinner, and the pressure on the top of the wing a little less than the pressure on the bottom.
Large passenger planes can't fly much higher than about 12 kilometers (7.5 miles). The air is too thin above that altitude to hold the plane up. Some kinds of planes can fly much higher, and one special NASA plane, named Helios, flew to about 30 kilometers (19 miles), which is far higher than any other plane has traveled. At that altitude, the air is 100 times thinner than at sea level. The air gets thinner and thinner the higher you go, until there's hardly any air at all. In other words, it's nearly a vacuum up there.
Even the lowest Earth-orbiting spacecraft orbit at around 200 kilometers (125 miles) above Earth's surface, far above the thick air we are accustomed to and much higher than any plane can reach.
To get an airplane to even the lowest Earth orbit, a very large rocket is needed. |

well if the captin is drunk maby he could but if he is not drunk....... no |

i have no idea but that would be really weird
i really think it's impossible.. it must have incredible force to get into outer space.. and even though planes travel at very high speeds it doesn't have the right structure to keep hold of itself form the pressures in space |

HOW WOULD I KNOW LOL :D |

No... It's not possible. Firstly the plane would just burn up passing through the atmosphere and secondly the plane is powerful enough to get free of the earth's gravity.
And anyway... Do you think the americans would have taken so long building a spaceship if they could just use a plane? |

nooooo dum *** |

Bart
|
No, the heat that is generated as the plane leaves earths atmosphere would melt the plane and burn everybody on board... |

Yeah it happens 3-7 times a day depending on conditions such as temperature and/or humidity. |
