Final answer:

Federal VOR airways and low altitude RNAV routes are typically in Class E airspace, which extends from the surface up to, but not including, 18,000 feet MSL.

Step-by-step explanation:

Federal VOR airways/ low altitude RNAV routes are typically in Class E airspace.

Class E airspace is controlled airspace that extends from the surface up to, but not including, 18,000 feet MSL (mean sea level). It is often found over less populated areas.

Class E airspace is established to provide controlled airspace for instrument flight rules (IFR) operations and provide separation between IFR and visual flight rules (VFR) aircraft.

VOR airways and RNAV routes are navigation aids that help pilots navigate through the airspace in a safe and organized manner.
