Does pressure increase with the amount of force per unit area?
Pressure is defined as the derivative of normal force with respect to surface area. Pressure is proportional to the normal force, and inversely proportional to the surface area. As the normal force over a surface area varies so does pressure.
In the case that pressure is increasing then either the normal force is increasing, the surface area of which the normal force is being exerted is decreasing, or the combination of both of these is occurring.

The only major exception was Curtiss-Wright, who now make engines only ( they produced construction equipment for a while in the fifties- unrelated to aircraft, of course). so what happened, after the big Swissair crash ( a flight lll (one-eleven) well they took a huge loss. eventually Swissair ( air line) went out of business and re-organized under another name. one to watch,. I am sure, pun intended. so that is the story. These ( Diversity production) laws and practices are put mildly, controversial, and they aren"t applied to say, Guns or cameras, where Kodak makes ( or at least used to ) make both cameras and film ( though Kodachrome is no more). or guns and ammo from the same house such as Remington, Winchester-Western, etc.
