The same pressure as on the ground.
Actually they are pressurized to anywhere from 4,000 ft. to 8,900, feet depending on the size and type of aircraft that you're in. Anywhere below 11,000 ft. is considered safe by FAA standards - though the higher the pressurization (the lower to the ground level pressure) is preferable and easier on the brain and body. The actual PSI of the aircraft is generally somewhere between 5.5 and 8.9psi.
Most air planes are pressurized, because at high altitudes, the air pressure is less than humans can handle, which causes us to black out. Bad vacation when your pilot blacks out at 30,000 feet!
"1 psi is equal to how much kgf/cm2?" since, 14.696 psi is equal to 1.033 kgf/cm2 so 1 psi = 0.070291 kgf/cm2
there is no such thing. psi is how much oxygen is in a certain amount of space (mostly used for deep divers
Negative 30 psi should do it.
0.5 Sq Ft is one half of a square foot. A square foot is an area 1 foot long by one foot wide. A square foot can also be described in inches instead, so the area of one square foot is 12 inches long by 12 inches wide, or 144 square inches. 0.5 Sq Ft is half a square foot, and is equal to 144 square inches multiplied by 0.5, or one half. So half a square foot equals 72 square inches. 1 psi is one pound per square inch. If you spread 1 psi over an area of 72 square inches, you divide the pressure quantity by the area quantity: 1 psi divided by 72 square inches = 1/72 psi, or 0.0139psi.
Airplanes often fly at great altitudes, of 10 kilometers or more. People would have serious trouble breathing at that altitude.
To keep water from leaking in.
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.
Pressurized Cabins
the air is thinner the higher up you go so it is harder to breathe. That's why there are pressurized cabins on airplanes because you wouldn't be able to breathe without the pressure keeping the air inside
They would suffocate.
To protect the occupants from extreme pressure.
Pressure is created in the engines and/or APU as "bleed air" and enters the cabin.
The highest altitude is 8,000 ft. But depending on the aircraft, it is usually pressurized to around 6,500 to 7,000 ft.
Helicopters don't generally fly high enough for cabin pressurization to be necessary.
An airplanes cabin is pressurized with what is called "bleed air", air that is siphoned out of the compressor chamber of the engines. The air is directed through duct work to the belly of the plane, where it is filtered, cooled, then circulated in the cabin. Equal amounts of air are siphoned off each of the engines. If one engine should fail, the other engine(s) provide the bleed air.
Because at altitudes above 10,000 feet there is not enough air for humans to breathe. Aircraft cabins are pressurised so that the internal pressure is equal to that at about 7,000 feet.
