On May 21, a Singapore Airlines flight got stuck in air turbulence in the skies of Myanmar. A 73-year-old British passenger died, while 30 other passengers were injured due to shocks in turbulence. Let us tell you that this flight was going from London to Singapore. After this incident, people are watching videos related to turbulence on social media. Let us know what is air turbulence.
What is air turbulence?
When air hits the wings of an airplane uncontrollably during flight, air turbulence is created in the plane. Due to this turbulence the plane starts going down. Due to this the passengers start getting shocks.
How many types of air turbulence are there?
According to the information, planes have to face at least seven types of turbulence. Most of the times turbulence is related to weather. In bad weather, lightning and heavy clouds also create turbulence in the aircraft. According to experts, these are Clear Air Turbulence, Thermal Turbulence, Temperature Inversion Turbulence, Thermal Turbulence, Temperature Inversion Turbulence, Mechanical Turbulence, Frontal Turbulence, Mountain Web Turbulence and Thunderstorm.
Due to this, the incidence of turbulence is increasing
Due to increasing temperature across the world, experts say that incidents of turbulence in planes are also increasing. Scientists from Britain’s Reading University have done research on this topic in a research paper published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. According to him, cases of turbulence in clear air have increased in the last decades. Research has found that there has been a 55 percent increase in turbulence cases on a North Atlantic air route in the 41 years between 1979 and 2020.
