What is the barometric pressure within the hold of a typical commercial aircraft?
Except in special aircraft, the hold of an aircraft is usually not pressurized, and the pressure is the same as the atmospheric pressure outside the aircraft The passenger compartment, as I recall, is usually pressurized to about 6 to 8 thousand feet.
What altitude are commercial airplanes pressurized to?
The highest altitude is 8,000 ft. But depending on the aircraft, it is usually pressurized to around 6,500 to 7,000 ft.
Why are airplaines pressurized?
Because the pilots, staff and passengers would pass out from lack of oxygen at the altitudes that aircraft fly best. Aircraft cabins are usually pressurized to 8,000 feet altitude equivalent. This also reduces passenger inner-ear discomfort.
What is the cabin pressure in a aircraft during ceiling altitude of flight?
Air craft cabin is fully pressurized.
What type of aircraft is SW3?
The SW-3 refers to the Swearingen Merlin (also called the Fairchild Aerospace Merlin). It is a pressurized turboprop twin engine business aircraft.
If aircraft fly in space why not aeroplanes?
Only specialized aircraft fly in space - airplanes are not pressurized or shielded the way rockets and the space shuttle are, so they can't go into space.
Why do passenger aircraft have pressurized cabins?
To allow passengers to breathe sufficient oxygen, needed to survive, even in high altitudes.
What aircraft can fly in the thermosphere?
Jet or rocket powered, with a pressurized cabin.
Why the aircraft is pressurised?
At 35,000 feet, a human would suffer severe oxygen starvation without a pressurized cabin. Also known as "death". A pressurized cabin in a commercial - or military - airliner is essential at high altitude.
Why is an airplane cabin air pressurized?
At altitudes above 10,000 feet there is not enough air for humans to breathe. Aircraft cabins are pressurized so the pressure is equal to that at about 7,000 feet. Commercial airliners fly at altitudes up to 40,000 feet.
Is aircraft carying cargoes pressurized?
Generally yes. Few large commercial airplanes travel under 10,000 feet where you need oxygen or pressurization.
Why are aircraft cabins pressurized?
For two reasons: 1. To make the air breathable and comfortable. 2. In conjunction with the above, to keep the temperature at a safe level.
