As the plane climbs higher, it flies faster, and its engines swallow more air through their gaping intakes. But the All finally must reach an altitude where the air is so thin that its engines cannot gather enough oxygen to keep them roaring healthily. Above this point the plane slows down despite the diminishing resistance. Most experts are convinced that the All's top speed...
