A: No commercial or business airplane flying today can exceed 100,000 feet. Special rocket-powered airplanes can fly over 100,000 feet to gather data, but they are specially designed for it.
But it could cost up to £1,000,000 and beyond if you wanted to buy something more sophisticated such as a turboprop. But the top-end for new piston-engine aircraft tends to be around £600,000, and many will be less than £250,000.
Can you fly at 80000 feet? The US Air Force U-2 reconnaissance aircraft flies at 72 000 feet almost every day for many hours. The world's fastest manned aircraft, the SR-71, flew for many years at 80 000 feet and higher.
Type of aircraftIt is an agreed-upon fact that smaller aeroplanes, such as those that belong to the light aircraft variety, are relatively easy to pilot. They do not require as much power to operate, especially when compared to larger aircraft such as commercial airliners.
Small planes can get anywhere from 500 nautical miles to upwards of 1500 nautical miles depending on fuel load and optional tank configuration. But the middle of that range seems to be the average. I have found that range is more dependent on how long you can sit in the plane not now much gas you can carry.
