Generally yes. There is less drag at higher altitudes, and thus better fuel economy, right up until the airplane can't get enough air to burn with with fuel to get the power needed to go faster and higher. Of course it takes extra fuel to get up there, so only long distance travel is done at high altitudes.

Would you expect sound to travel faster at higher or lower altitudes?
faster in higher altitiudes
What is a challenge that the engineer of a high-altitude airplane would need to consider?
The airplane may succumb to the power of gravity as lift decreases at higher altitudes.

Which of these describes the challange that the engineer of a high-altitude airplane would need to consider?
The airplane may succumb to the power of gravity as lift decreases at higher altitudes.
What happens to density at higher altitudes?
The density of air decreases at higher altitudes.
Why ice melts slowly at higher altitudes?
because there is low pressure at higher altitudes
Why do hot air baloons travel at low altitudes?
Hot Air Ballons Travel at Low Altiudes Because If it goes any Higher it could pop.
Which one is the very safe height airplane heights or mountain heights?
Of course airplane heights are safer than mountain heights. Mountain heights are extremely dangerous and really scary but airplane heights are more higher altitudes. Airplane heights are not that scary also it is much safer than mountain heights.
Is it windier at higher altitudes?
Yes.
How did mountain passes help settlers?
Mountain passes gave traveling settlers a way to travel through the mountains. Without the passes, the settlers would have to travel to higher and more dangerous altitudes.
In general what true about places at higher altitudes?
They have cooler temperatures than places at lower altitudes.
Cooler temperatures are found at higher?
altitudes
