I think in a way that’s why planes fly so much further up than you’d think they’d need to. They want more consistent and minimal atmospheric conditions. Less air means less energy means less turbulence, I think?

If you’re talking about friction… oooh that’s an interesting one. Intuitively yes. But is it also negligible?
