Default Question about being unpressurized at higher (Class A) altitudes

Thanks for everyone's responses. I am somewhat lacking in knowledge
at this point; I know my desires but not the specifics of
implementation. By the time this plane is built the kids will
probably be 5 or more years older but if my friend with the Velocity
lets me rent it it may be an issue sooner.


He can't legally rent you his Velocity.


I know that planes gain
efficiency at altitude but I don't know how high one must go to
realize those gains. I just assumed that with a service ceiling over
FL200 that pilots would generally want to go there. My CFI flies King
Air 350's and Citation Jets for hire so I am used to hearing about his
experiences, something very different than the flying I will be doing.


Ask you CFI about it. While the Velocity is a hell of a plane it isn't a
Citation or King Air.
