Can a plane fly on Jupiter?
The planet is mostly swirling gases and liquids. While a spacecraft would have nowhere to land on Jupiter, it wouldn’t be able to fly through unscathed either. The extreme pressures and temperatures deep inside the planet crush, melt, and vaporize spacecraft trying to fly into the planet.
What would happen if a jet tried to fly into space?
It can’t get into space, the jet engines would stall long before that and the wings would stop generating lift. You could possibly use reaction jets / rockets but then it’s no longer a jet. You’d also need a pressure suit. Re-entry could get interesting.
Can bugs survive on a plane?
Bed bugs can survive in airplanes because they have lots of hosts to feed on, and the conditions are not that different from your house. Other passengers can carry bed bugs into the airplane in their clothes or luggage (not directly on their bodies).
Are there really 9 planets?
While sky surveys such as Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) and Pan-STARRS did not detect Planet Nine, they have not ruled out the existence of a Neptune-diameter object in the outer Solar System….Planet Nine.

What happens to aircraft on other planets?
1 The Sun: This works about as well as you’d imagine. 2 Mars: To see what happens to aircraft on Mars, we turn to X-Plane. 3 Venus: Unfortunately, X-Plane is not capable of simulating the hellish environment near the surface of Venus. 4 Jupiter: Our Cessna can’t fly on Jupiter; the gravity is just too strong.
What would happen if you fly a plane on Venus?
The upshot is: Your plane would fly pretty well, except it would be on fire the whole time, and then it would stop flying, and then stop being a plane. The atmosphere on Venus is over 60 times denser than Earth’s, which is thick enough that a Cessna moving at running speed would rise into the air.
Can X-Plane simulate flight on Mars?
In particular, if you change the X-Plane config file to reduce gravity, thin the atmosphere, and shrink the radius of the planet it can simulate flight on Mars . (Note: Thank you to Tom J and the folks in the X-Plane community for their help with aerodynamic calculations in different atmospheres.)
What happens when a plane is launched above the earth’s surface?
The Cessna 172 Skyhawk, probably the most common plane in the world. Here’s what happens when the aircraft is launched above the surface of the 32 largest Solar System bodies: In most cases, there’s no atmosphere, and the plane falls straight to the ground.
