What causes airplane Turbulence!!!

in #mgsc6 years ago

Why turbulence is no big deal?

It can feel like the scariest part of flying. But no turbulence is no cause of alarm.

Turbulence is a sudden change in airflow. It can be caused by a number of factors.

The most common cause is turbulent air in the atmosphere. Jet streams trigger sudden changes in wind speed that can rock the plane.

Another type is thermal turbulence.

It created by hot rising air usually from Cumulus clouds or thunderstorms.

Mechanical turbulence caused by the landscape.

Mountains or tall buildings can distort the wind flow in the sky above them.

Airplanes can also create turbulence.

The wings cause wake turbulence as it passes through the air. This can affect planes flying behind one another.
It's why planes avoid taking the same flight path on takeoffs and landings.

Pilot and Air traffic control do a lot to avoid turbulence. But even when they do run into it, the risk is low.

--> Modern Aircraft are built to withstand even severe turbulence. They can quickly rise and fall up to 100 feet.
As a result, turbulence hasn't caused a plane crash in over 40 years. Unfortunately, it has been on the rise.

--> Since 1958, turbulence rose 40-90% over Europe and North America.

--> Studies suggest global warming could cause it to be worse by 2050.

--> When booking seats, aim for ones closest to the wings. These will be the smoothest in turbulence.

For now, trust your pilot, be smart and buckle up.

Every invention has its good and bad sides. Aircraft turbulence is really tricky. I think the air traffic control do the job very crucial.

Now a days pilots are well trained than before and planes are also coming with latest technologies so it is easier now to travel.. good work man..

As i travel a lot inside plane sometime it feels so dangerous that you can see every person in plane to pray to god to save them but in real these days its so common that it happen everyday !

yes, you are right sir.

Well written article ! Keep it up !

Now new solution is open for aeroplane turbulence that is parachute for the aeroplane

Aerodynamic....

Thanks for the knowledge, but is it the same with jet fighters......now do as u said, follow, upvote and comment

Thanku.. upvoted

good article..its happy to read this kind of articles..need more

Its a common thing while traveling in air, the situation can horrify but we need not to be worried. There are some atmospheric conditions which influence the stuff.
Several times have found it personally in a common route i used to travel.

Interesting and informative acticle bro keep it up

Keep it up

Upvoted..return back

Great work
