Since aircraft commonly cruise at altitudes up to 35,000 feet (and higher), where the air is nearly unbreathable many modern aircraft pressurize the atmosphere inside the cabin in order to maintain an adequate oxygen supply and comfortable environment for the crew and passengers.
If the cabin is punctured in some way, or a seal fails, all this pressure rapidly vents out of the aircraft until air pressure inside the cabin equalizes with that outside. This is called rapid decompression.

What are the properties of polyurethane?
Polyurethane is known for its durability, flexibility, and resistance to abrasion and chemicals. It is also lightweight and can be molded into a variety of shapes, making it a versatile material for a wide range of applications.
What is Air decompression table 1-26X?
Air decompression table 1-26X is a set of specific guidelines used in commercial diving operations to plan safe ascent profiles for divers who have been exposed to increased pressure at depth. The table outlines the time limits and depths where the divers can safely ascend to prevent decompression sickness. Divers must follow this table to ensure their safety during decompression.
Is mt st helens non-explosive or explosive?
Mount St. Helens is generally regarded as an explosive volcano, but like most stratovolcanoes, it can produce both explosive and non-explosive eruptions.
Do adiabatic processes cause cooling by radiation or conduction or convection or insertion or decompression?
Decompression! Says my Physics Major Husband.(Are you in Mr. Fye's physical geography class, by any chance?)
Was mauna loa a quiet or explosive eruption?
No, Mauna Loa is not an explosive volcano. It tends to be non-explosive.
If a small hole is made in a plane at altitude can it cause explosive decompression and tear the plane apart?
It will cause an explosive decompression but hopefully not tear it apart because planes are assembled in small panels so if one takes a hole it should not spreadhttp://site1.wikianswers.com/images/blank.gif?v=22222
Can you open a door in the air of a 747?
yes you can. but i can't advise it. since an aircraft is a pressurized vessel. you will get explosive decompression, this can be EXTREMELY dangerous, and can result in the plane going down.
How do you use the word decompression in a sentence?
The decompression of gas caused the tube to break. Removing compression from something is decompression.
What is the term for rising or ascending too fast while diving?
It might be called "the benz,"but there are several different kinds......AdditionA very rapid pressure loss is known as explosive decompression. The question is about the ascent itself and not any consequences of ascending too fast. Also, simply ascending fast does not equate to a diver actually getting decompression sickness. The term decompression illness encompasses all diving pressure related injuries including those not related to ascending fast.ADDITIONDecompression sickness/Decompression illness/"Thebends"
Does decompression sickness affect the bones?
how does decompression sickness effect the body
What is immediate decompression?
Immediate decompression is Traumatic Retrobulbar Hemorrhage via transcranial.
When was Emotional Decompression Chamber created?
Emotional Decompression Chamber was created in 2008.
What are the release dates for Decompression - 2014?
Decompression - 2014 was released on: USA: 2014
Can your body explode?
It would be possible for a human body to explode if the decompression were rapid and large enough. However, under normal circumstances, vacuum would cause explosive outgassing from the lungs and capillary rupturing in the mucus membranes.
What is decompression therapy and what is it used for?
Decompression therapy is a type of therapy that is used for spinal back pain relief. Using this type of decompression therapy allows for minimal recovery time.
What is decompression illness?
It is any illness that is related to a release of pressure from the body such as barotrauma .. baro (pressure) trauma (injury). It includes decompression sickness, but it is not limited to decompression sickness. It is also not limited to diving even though that is what is mostly thought of when discussing decompression illness or DCI.
Who gets decompression sickness?
Scuba divers who surface too quickly after a deep dive are prone to decompression sickness.
