I always hold my nose and mouth closed and force air into my sinus cavity. This pressure forces the ear to release the excess pressure forcing it inward.

How does a flight take off in air?

The airplane is designed to be exceptionally aerodynamic and to push air over the wings in a specific pattern. When the plane accelerates down the runway, the air pressure on top of the wings drops while the air pressure under the wings increases - at some point (preferably before the end of the runway is reached), the differential air pressure lifts the airplane off the ground and the plane is airborne.


How does lift work for a plane or a bird?

Basically the lift of the plane works on the balanceness of air pressure. When the air pressure is made to build more below the plane and the air pressure on the upper part becomes less, then the plane gets a lift.


Why do your ears hurt during take off and landing?

The pressure outside of your eardrum in the plane changes as the plane goes up or comes down - this causes pain because the pressure behind your eardrum is either higher or lower than the pressure inside the plane.


If an aeroplane is pressurised how can there be enough fresh air for everyone on board?

The plane is continuously pressurized. The engines have a compressor on them that provide compressed air to the cabin. The airplane would not be able to contain the pressure differential without continuous adding of compressed air, since the plane is not airtight. Note that the plane is not pressurized at or around take-off! The compressed air is only added in a regulated fashion in order to keep the pressure at a comfortable level. This means that the pressure actually goes down in absolute terms while the plane is climbing, just not as far down as the outside pressure.


Why are the wheels on the plane tucked in after take off?

If they were left out the plane would become less aerodynamic; it would take more fuel to go the same distance and speed.It is also because the height at which planes fly have less air pressure as we know air travels from high pressure to low pressure the air inside the wheels comes and the wheel burst out


How does the 747 airplane lift off the ground?

Just like any other plane does. It's called the Bournoulli principle. In fluid dynamics, Bernoulli's principle states that for an inviscid flow, an increase in the speed of the fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy. So, the shape of the wing causes the air to travel over the wing faster than the air travelling under the wing. The faster air has a lower pressure than the slower air, so a pressure difference is created across the wing. The pressure difference causes lift on the wing. When the plane is moving fast enough so that lift force exceeds the weight of the plane, it lifts off the ground.


How do you get air ride suspension bags go down in the back?

jack the rear of the car up and let the air ride level itself once there down shut off air ride from the trunk


How do you shut off the air ride on a 07 cadillac dts?

To shut off the air ride on a 2007 Cadillac DTS, locate the air ride switch, usually found in the trunk or under the dashboard. Turn the switch to the "Off" position. If your model has a fuse for the air ride system, you can also remove the corresponding fuse to disable it. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific instructions related to your vehicle.


What can you not take on an air plane?

weapons,paint,well you can take a phone on the plane but you have to turn it off.


Which airport did Air France plane take off before it crashed in June 2009?

The Air France plane took off from Rio de Janeiro's International Airport in Brazil.


What is Bernoulli's theory?

This is a very simple explanation that I have given to my Grade 6 students. Bernoulli's Theory, which originally was applied to his research in fluids & medicine (particularly blood pressure), helps explain how planes fly. He discovered the principal that the pressure of a fluid decreases when its speed or velocity increase, this prinicpal was also later discovered to apply to air pressure as well. This helps us to understand that when a plane is speeding up for take off, the faster it goes the less air pressure is exerted on it and therefore the plane is able to 'lift-off' the ground and fly. A plane that does not obtain sufficient speed on the ground, for its size & weight, may not be able to take off successfully.


Why does ear pain while take off and landing?

When a plane takes off the air pressure inside the plane will drop. Behind your ear drums there is pocket of air (think of your head as an inflated balloon). When the pressure outside your head gets lower than the pressure inside your ear drums will bulge outwards a little, which is painful. Moving your jaw about, chewing gum, yawning etc can help open up the canal between your ears and the back of your throat, which will equalize the pressure. Landing is the same, but in reverse. The pressure inside will be lower, so the eardrums will bulge inwards. You can try pinching your nose and then trying to blow through it. This sould force some air in there and equalize the pressure.
