Whether the turbulence in flight is dangerous

Whether the turbulence in flight is dangerous

Great number of inhabitants of the planet consider that turbulence – the phenomenon dangerous. However the opinion it is wrong as the aircraft is more than 100 years old, and the planes hitting turbulence all the same reach the destination. It is possible to draw a conclusion one – a problem in people who because of the plane "jumping" in air begin to panic.

Experts claim that you should not panic. Over a set of the countries there is that zone of turbulence representing the certain physical phenomenon connected with non-uniform air masses. If to look at the drawing with the image of the phenomenon frightening many, then it is possible to see air in the form of waves. Some pilots joke that the turbulence is similar to the puff and cut cake. And the plane as a result of collision with turbulences jumps up. In other words, waves in the sky can be compared to water waves (the seas, the ocean and so forth).

In fact the plane shivers not so strongly as it seems to passengers. All secret of similar "shaking" consists in aircraft speed (which reaches about 900 km/h). Many people who are airborne already constantly on nerves and when hit turbulence, at them something begins like a panic, and it seems to much that the plane can fail. Also the turbulence arises if next to each other two aircrafts fly by.

Interesting fact

It is possible to make an experiment with glass with water. If the plane moved and jumped up too powerfully, then water would be spilled. And if it does not occur, then passengers in perfect security. For this reason it is time to cease to perceive turbulence as something deadly, and it is necessary to treat it as to something obligatory, during flight over many countries it is possible to get to such zone. The people who are afraid of flights and turbulence, experts called aerophobes.

Flight and turbulence are compatible

If the person cannot get rid of fears at all, then he needs the help of the professional psychologist. After the passenger understands that represent the plane, turbulence and all process of flight, it will cease to react inadequately to all events, affecting psychological state of other passengers.

For this reason if the plane hit turbulence, then it is necessary to sigh and be engaged in something: to listen to music, to solve crossword puzzles, to drink drinks, etc. to distract itself from the events.
