Flying Facts
Turbulence.
Flying through turbulent air is much the same as steering
a powerboat across choppy water. In a boat, passengers expect the thud-thud-thud
of the water hitting the bottom of the boat. Just as boats are strong enough to
survive the impact of turbulent water, aeroplanes are built to withstand
turbulent air.

Flying Facts
Engine Failure.
So what happens when all engines go out on a
jet aeroplane in mid-air? It glides. Most commercial jet aircraft have
approximately a 15-to-1 glide ratio (gliding 15 feet for each foot it descends).
That is, an airplane flying at 35,000 feet can glide about 525,000 feet (or 100
miles).
