Airplanes are pressurized at high altitudes because the air pressure outside the cabin decreases significantly, making it difficult for passengers to breathe comfortably and risking hypoxia. Pressurization ensures a safe and comfortable environment by maintaining a stable air pressure and oxygen levels similar to those experienced at lower altitudes. This helps passengers and crew avoid altitude-related health issues while allowing the aircraft to operate efficiently in the thinner atmosphere.
The airplane was flying at a very high altitude.
A person would experience the least atmospheric pressure at high altitudes, such as on top of a mountain or in an airplane flying at high altitude.
The airpressure is less when at high altitude, even in a 'pressurised' airplane. Therefore the gas in drink is not as compressed, making the expulsion of the gas more rapid, through more and bigger bubbles
Not really. Blue fingernails can be a sign of hypoxia, a lack of oxygen in the blood. This can happen at high altitude such as mountain climbing or flying in a depressurized airplane higher than about 12,000 feet altitude.
Flying at altitude
an added tank
About 4.2 miles.
The trajectory for this flying paper airplane is high.
b/c of th high altitude
The airplane may succumb to the power of gravity as lift decreases at higher altitudes.
The altitude of 21,042 feet is approximately 6,411 meters above sea level. This altitude is quite high and is typically found in mountainous areas or during airplane flights.
Explanation: The air in the cabin of an aircraft at high altitude can be very dry, which is conducive to building up a static charge. ... Then when you touch the doorknob, those charge densities try to equalize, potentially leading to a harmless shock
