It is not possible for a Boeing 747 to ascend up to 60,000 feet. According to Aviation blogs, Lufthansa had boasted in the past about its 747-400 having the highest altitude in its fleet, with a maximum service ceiling of 44,947 ft (13,610 m). The German flag carrier also operates the modern 747-8, which has a service ceiling of 43,100 ft (13,137 m). Furthermore, the highest altitude an airliner can attain today, as reported by USA Today, is around 45,000 feet.

Commercial jetliners have a limited elevation ceiling of about 45,000 feet. While corporate aircraft can fly higher, slightly above 50,000 feet, they are specifically designed for such purposes. However, reaching an altitude of 60,000 feet would require super-efficient engines and glider-like wings. The engine of U2 was designed with no blade tip clearance to enable it to function at an altitude of 70,000 feet.

To summarize, a Boeing 747 is incapable of ascending up to 60,000 feet. The highest altitude a commercial jetliner can reach is approximately 45,000 feet, while corporate aircraft can fly slightly above 50,000 feet, but only if they are specifically designed for that purpose. Achieving an altitude of 60,000 feet would necessitate super-efficient engines and glider-like wings.
