Is there less turbulence at the front of the plane?

Question

is there less turbulence at the front of the plane, i.e first and business class, making the flight less bumpy?

Answer 1

No. Since planes move about on 3 axes (roll, pitch, and yaw) the turbulence can come from just about any direction. I doubt that you would be able to feel much difference between one part of the aircraft and another should you encounter turbulence of any significance.

Answer 2

the turbulence is transferred into the airframe mainly through the wings, which in fact could mean that the further from the lateral axis of the plane you are, the more shaky the flight should be. the actual bumpiness of the flight is about the constant all along the fuselage.

Answer 3

Most turbulence is translational rather than rotational, meaning that the entire aircraft moves as a unit in one direction.  As a result, every seat in the aircraft feels the same thing (even the pilots' seats).  The actual movements are usually quite small, from a few inches to a few feet, but if you don't like a bumpy ride or if it makes you nervous, it can feel much larger than it really is.

Answer 4

No, turbulence is a plane remain consist throughout the entire aircraft. Turbulence is created through unstable weather pressure systems and planes will bounce up and down when holes are found. It will not matter where you sit in a plane, the roughness of turbulence will be the same. It may vary slightly, but it can be worst up the front or better up the front. The most comfortable ride in a plane is generally up the front due to lower noise levels etc

Answer 5

Yes obviously there will be less turbulence in front of the plane becase the nose of the plane is in the front!!!!!!!!!
