What would happen if an airplane (like a passenger jet) flies straight upward? how far could it go? |

first of all, that's impossible. |

I don't think it's designed to fly straight up |

I don't think passenger jets are powerful enough to climb straight upwards. Some military jet fighters and other experimental planes are powerful enough to do it, but I'm not sure what the altitude limit would be. Probably 40 kilometers or something like that, it would depend on the airplane of course. |

If it was an F-15, it would shoot up like a rocket but a passenger jet doesn't have that much power. It wold stall probably soon after about 45 degrees. |

i dont think its possible to even lift....... |

It would stall and not fly at all.
It would go as far up as momentum would allow, then begin falling until it regained lift. Just like a paper airplane making a spike and flying straight down.
edit @ below answers, it has NOTHING to do with power. You cannot produce lift when the wings are vertical. It is a fact. Otherwise space rockets would have HUGE wings, but they don't they barely have any wings because they depend ONLY on the rocket. |

the engines will stop and you'd fall straight to the ground |

They cant, the engine would stall! and you would crash! |

passenger jets can't do it, they don't have enough power,
The most powerful fighter jets can do it but they can't sustain themselves continually upward, they turn upward at high speed and gradually slow down until they stall (come to a complete stop) at which time they start falling back down and they have to move forward to regain control. |

It would not be able to get to that point if it was a heavier aircraft (jumbojet, massive transport unit, etc.)
It would stall in the air, meaning it would stop on its way up, and then turn itself 180 degrees, and to the side (depending on the way it's leaning.) It would go in to a spin, and regaining control would be very hard.
A smaller aircraft (Cessna330 for example) would be able to get further, but would eventually collapse in the air under it's pressure. In plain English: it would turn around in the air as the larger aircraft, but regaining control would be much easier. |
