I'm trying to estimate the service ceiling or max altitude for a particular jet or plane. What dictates the altitude of an aircraft?What determines the service ceiling for a jet or plane?1. Amount of lift provided upto a given altitude where this is surpassed.
2. exceeding the altitude in which the engine is getting enough O2 for combustion.
Either one can be the limit. Most of the time it is probably the engines running out of oxygen........
..What determines the service ceiling for a jet or plane?The size and configuration of the wing and how much weight it will lift in the air space it occupies, as you go higher the air gets thinner and eventually the wing won't provide lift for that particular wing at some point.
