Not all planes fly at those altitudes, your smart enough to know that.

What happens when a jet ingests a bunch of natural gas floating in the air ???
Judging by the twiter I was misstaken I had not heard about that one. But there was a fire and spill in Bradford Pa a month or so ago about the same sequence of events.
My apologies for that.

On the air plane question: NAtural gas ingested into a combustion turbine(jet engine) will cause a momentary increase in the rpm and torque which will caus the fuel logic to back down primary fuel feed to compensate. There is a pilot on here that can probably explain it better. THe turbines we use have generators bolted to them not air frames.
