For the flight of airplanes in the earth’s atmosphere, the variation of the acceleration of gravity with altitude is generally ignored. One of the highest-flying aircraft has been the Lockheed U-2 (see Fig. 5.52) which was designed to cruise at 70,000 ft. How much does the acceleration of gravity at this altitude differ from the value at sea level?
