An aircraft uses on board oxygen supplies to pump oxygen into the cabin. but if you are flying below 10,000 ft. you can usually breath the air outside!

Hope that helps if not check Google!

How much oxygen is in a tank on an airplane?

Oxygen in an airplane is not carried in a tank, it is the result of a chemical reaction. The oxygen will last for approximately ten to fifteen minutes.


What is the oxygen level of the air expected to be when flying in a pressurized cabin of a plane?

The percentage of Oxygen in the air is the same in airplane as it is outside the airplane. The only difference is the pressure levels. If the pressure drops too much then the total amount of Oxygen will be insufficient for you to breath and you will pass out. The airplane only carries oxygen for use in emergency and is dispensed in the oxygen masks of the crew and passengers. Maybe your Question is asking what the total volume of oxygen is available in a pressurized airplane. I don't know that.


What item is a traveling oxygen patient not allowed to bring on an airplane?

Patients cannot bring or use their own oxygen tanks on an airplane; therefore the patient must leave his or her portable oxygen tank at the airport before boarding.


What should you do if an airplane crashes?

SCREAM! And put on that oxygen mask thingy. :(


Where can you obtain oxygen for traveling by airplane?

BY THOSE LITTLE MASKS THAT FALL FROM THE OVERHEAD COMPARTMENTS.


What is the difference in propultion between an airplane a spacecraft?

A spacecraft need a rocket engine (which is powered by on-board oxygen and fuel) to propel itself, an airplane only needs a jet engine (which only needs on-board fuel as it uses oxygen form the air).


Why are airplane doors and windows completely sealed?

Modern jet airplanes fly at high altitudes, where there is less air and therefore less oxygen. Aircraft cabins are pressurized so that pilots and passengers can have enough oxygen to breathe. There is a high air pressure inside the cabin because outside air (and oxygen) is forced into the cabin by the engines in order to pressurize the inside of the airplane, and this gives people enough oxygen to breathe. This is only possible because the airplane is sealed; if the windows and doors were open, the engines wouldn't be able to pressurize the cabin.


What does An airplane specifically designed to fly at high altitudes have?

An added tank of oxygen to mix with the fuel for combustion reactions.


Why are airplane cabins pressurized?

Airplane cabins are pressurized because humans cannot breath at a very high elevation.Aircraft are pressurized to allow them to fly higher. Without pressurization, the amount of oxygen in the air would not be sufficient for humans to breathe.


What happens when a airplane is too high?

the engines won't get enough power and oxygen if you are too high, and the plane might stall since it will lose speed.


What was the name of the airplane in the movie Airplane?

The airplane in the movie Airplane is a Boeing 707


Can a person travel on a airplane with emphysema?

Yes, a person with emphysema can travel on an airplane, but it's important for them to consult with their healthcare provider beforehand. Given the decreased oxygen levels at high altitudes, they may require supplemental oxygen during the flight. Additionally, travelers should consider their overall health, the duration of the flight, and any potential need for medication or assistance during travel.
