no mid air in the sky says the scientist from steefal areobotics

New answer. I'm not sure who the scientist from steefal areobotics is or where he got his information but the air is thinner the higher you go in altitude. At sea level the atmospheric pressure is 14.7psi and as you increase the altitude the air pressure becomes less and less. There is 78%nitrogen, 21%oxygen and 1% other inert gases in the atmosphere and that reamins constant but as the air thins out the gases are spread farther apart making the air thinner. When you go up in a jetliner you wouldn't be able to breathe without having the aircraft cabin pressurized. They pressurize the cabin to about the same atmospheric pressure as you would find at 8000 feet and that allows you to breathe without having to add oxygen.
