Can a plane fly into a hurricane or tornado?

Yes. Actually when the extreme weather detected, some planes will takeoff and fly into the hurricane for scientific research. So we can see the pilot can deal with the extreme weather. As for the tornado, it usually high to troposphere but planes can fly to stratosphere easily.

What was the first plane to fly into a tornado?

The aircraft entered service near the end of WW2 and were declared obsolete shortly after and sold as surplus or scrapped. The National Weather Service needed a rugged airplane to do tornado research and the P61 fit the bill thus becoming the first plane to fly into a tornado. Have you been hacked?

What kind of plane can fly into thunderstorms?

This Thunderbolt will soon be flying into thunderstorms. The U.S. military’s veteran A-10 Thunderbolt II is built for battle: a titanium-armored cockpit protects its pilot from explosive projectile hits, and it can carry weapons like a 30-mm nose-mounted cannon to take out enemy tanks.

Why is a tornado more dangerous than a hurricane?

The danger of a tornado isn’t just the wind speed, but also the flying debris and drastic change of wind speed when entering/leaving it. Planes can only fly through hurricanes, because the winds in hurricanes are relatively constant. This allows Hurricane hunters to constantly adjust their nose pitch to counter the wind.

What should you do if your plane is in a thunderstorm?

• Avoid all thunderstorms. Although pilots have flown through limited state thunderstorms with little or no damage to the aircraft or passengers, these pilots should consider themselves extremely fortunate to be alive. (emphasis original).
