A quick definition of national airspace:
National airspace refers to the space above the land that belongs to a country. This space is important for airplanes to fly safely and for the people who own or use the land to enjoy their property. The country has complete control over this airspace and foreign planes cannot fly through it without permission. There are rules about how high planes can fly in this airspace to make sure everyone stays safe.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: National airspace refers to the space above a nation's territory, including internal waters and the territorial sea, over which it has complete and exclusive sovereignty. It is the area where aircraft can fly without violating a country's airspace laws.
Examples:
- A commercial airplane flying over the United States is in the national airspace of the United States.
- A military drone flying over the territorial waters of a country is in the national airspace of that country.
The examples illustrate that national airspace is the area above a country's territory where aircraft can fly without violating any laws. It is important for countries to have control over their national airspace to ensure the safety and security of their citizens.
