29. Can a Plane Fly Without an Engine?

You betcha! Although you probably wouldn’t know if it happened… Even though it is extremely rare for a plane to experience engine failure, present-day passenger jets are equipped to fly safely even if one engine isn’t working.

Even if both engines fail, a plane can glide approximately 1.5 nautical miles for every 1,000 feet of altitude (typical commercial jets cruises at about 30,000 feet). Rest assured, pilots are trained on how to make planes glide as far as possible, although you’d probably never know if it was happening.

30. How Clean Are In-Flight Blankets and Pillows?

Maybe they’re not as bad as the tray tables – which have been found to be the dirtiest part of planes – but those courtesy blankets, pillows and even headphones aren’t really very fresh. Although they are repackaged with plastic wrap, airplane amenities aren’t usually new.

For the most part, they don’t even get washed. In coach class, you’re more likely to find fresh blankets on early morning flights. But, they generally just get stuffed back in the bins and folded between flights before they’re passed on to the next passengers.
