Serious question about aeroplanes.
With so many in the sky, how do they all avoid each other? I mean, I know they have radar which tells them when another one comes close but it just seems amazing how it all works

They're guided by ATC. Not to mention every plane ha a Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) installed to warn them of a nearby plane.

Commercial traffic flies in the Airways, which are essentially set routes through the sky, which look like this:
![Image]()
Before taking off, each aircraft submits a flight plans to ATC which details their intended routing, speed, and the height at which they intend to fly. ATC (with the help of a large computer to plot the various different routes all the aircraft are taking) will then either give them a take-off window in time to allow them to slot into a gap in the airways or they'll give them some directions to fly once they've taken off to enable them to slot in to a space. Then as long as they continue to fly as planned nothing should come near anything else and everyone is happy.
In a nutshell :P
