Is there any place on a plane where the effects of turbulence are least felt?

I have always wondered if one place/seat on a plane will feel the effects of turbulence least?


Give some insight!|||the idea is that the center of the wing closest to the middle of the plane is the best as thats the planes pivot point everything moves on this point from the rudder moving the nose left and right, elevators move the nose up and down, ailerons bank the plane left or right and all this pivots in the middle of the plane now when you hit turbulance the whole plane moves your going to feel the lest movement in this pivot point as the pilot counters the jerkyness of the aircraft|||Not really.





The plane as a whole is affected by turbulence, causing it to raise/lower altitude.





The closer you get to the plane's center of gravity (middle of the plane, middle of the wings) theoretically would cause you to not feel roll or pitch changes as much as you would futher away from the center of gravity. However, the reduction is miniscule.|||Towards the middle/front of the plane is the best because you are closer to the part that is being lifted. It is like a teeter totter you move more on the ends than towards the middle. When they test new models of airplanes, the most turbulence is normally felt in the back. But, the difference is not normally a huge deal.|||The rear of the aircraft probably gives the worst ride in turbulence. Large aircraft are actually quite flexible structures, so movement at the rear is actually more than just the normal moment from the aircrafts centre of gravity.|||right in the middle of the wing my friend is a captain on the 777's he said the best place is in the midde of the wing|||Next to the wing. And if you are in the Boeing 747 choose the middle seat in the middle row of seats next to the wing.|||The smothest place on the airplane is the front, most commercial airliners are flown with "nose steer" which just means that the rest of the plane follows the nose. Therefore, the nose will stay pretty close to the same idea, think abou it, if the plane drops, the nose must rise so you are right back at altitude, if the plane rises, the nose must go down to lose this altitude, its that simple. As you go toward the back you get more bumpy because the back of the plane follows the nose the loosest, if that makes sense, the rear of the plane must drop and rotate if the nose does up and vice versa if the nose goes down, the tail goes up.|||The planes center is where you will feel the least movement, but you will not feel no effects of trublence.





In the middle of the wings in the center aisle is where the planes axis will be. It turns from that point climbs and descends from that point. So, the least effects will be felt druing pitch and roll in that seat. But there is no magic seat where you feel no movement.|||As said above by BDZot, a seat near the center of gravity should theoretically make it less influenced by pitch, roll or yaw. But no place in the aircraft will save you from the buffeting that is caused by a vertical or horizontal accelerations that occur during flight through turbulent skies.|||the wings. sit near the wings.
