How are airplanes able to fly into hurricanes to study them?

Question

I’ve been seeing articles and videos about the NOAA “hurricane hunters” who flew into Ian to study it. How is it possible to fly in those conditions?

Answer 1

The same way you fly normally. They know the demands of flying in a storm and the stresses it puts on the plane, and can engineer around them. Very few things are beyond our reach.
