Best Answer

If your talking about commercial jets, the cabin pressure is equivalent to the pressure at 8,000ft AMSL when at cruising altitude. Max differential pressure is around 7 PSI.

What is the barometric pressure within the hold of a typical commercial aircraft?

The barometric pressure within the hold of a typical commercial aircraft is typically regulated to be similar to the pressure at cruising altitude in the cabin. This helps to ensure that the cargo remains stable and safe during the flight.


What is the air pressure in an aircraft?

While the pressure outside the aircraft is very low, cabin pressurization allows pilots to pressurize the aircraft cabin to about 11.5 psi. They try to keep the cabin pressurized to make it seem like the air at around 7,000 feet. That's why your ears pop.


What is the cabin pressure in a aircraft during ceiling altitude of flight?

Air craft cabin is fully pressurized.


What is an aircraft cabin air pressure regulator?

It maintains the cabin pressure to the air pressure at 8000 ft. Without pressurization, you would get hypoxia (The Lack Of Oxygen) Get light headed, pass out, then possibly die. As you go higher the atmospheric pressure drops. Payne Webber the Golfer died when the cabin pressure regulator failed.


Is the air pressure of a aircraft the same as the air pressure outside above and below?

No, the air pressure inside an aircraft is regulated to be at a comfortable level for passengers, which is usually lower than the air pressure at high altitudes. The difference in pressure is controlled by the aircraft's pressurization system to maintain a safe and habitable environment inside the cabin.


What is a cabin of an aircraft?

The cabin is the enclosed space inside the aircraft where the passengers and flight crew ride.


What is the meaning of a fountain pen overflows when you board an aeroplane?

There was a change in pressure within the cabin. The pen's ink compartment was at higher pressure pressure when you boarded, but the cabin pressure must have decreased enough at altitude to cause the pen to leak.


What is a IMA ramp?

An IMA ramp is a device that enables the inflow of outside air into an aircraft cabin during flight. This helps regulate cabin pressure and maintain a comfortable environment for passengers and crew.


What is simple aircraft refrigeration system?

a simple aircraft refrigeration system is an air refrigeration system, where air is used as the working fluid. the compressor of the aircraft is used to compress the air isentopicaly by ramming process, thus increasing its pressure from p1 to p2. constant pressure heat rejection takes place in a heat exchanger, thus redusing its temperature. now it is isentropicaly expanded using the turbine to the cabin pressure. this air mixes with the air in the cabin and reduses the temperature.


Why does no aircraft maker pressurise the passenger cabin to ground level pressure so you don't get earache on landing?

Because to do so would require a much higher pressure differential (the difference between the pressure outside the aircraft and the pressure inside) this would need a much stronger aircraft (smaller widows & heaving materials) which would increase the weight of the aircraft unnecessarily. People all around the world live at altitudes where the pressure is greater than sea level so its not required.


Do airplane windows open?

Yes airplane windows open. On passenger jets most windows in the cabin are not designed to open. There are normally two windows in the flight deck that open. On small personal aircraft the windows are normally designed to be opened. Windows can be opened in flight as long as the cabin is not pressurized. Normally pressurization of the cabin happens in larger aircraft and above 10 000 feet where oxygen is not as plentiful as it is on the ground. When flying that high aircraft are normally pressurized and so that the conditions of hypoxia (lack of oxygen to the brain) do not affect the crew or passengers. Windows are not designed to be opened at high altitiudes and likely can not be opened due to the pressure asserted on the aircraft's frame. Small areas where air can escape from a pressurized cabin, such as a window, can have dire consequences if the difference in pressure inside and outside of the aircraft cause a rapid cabin decompression.


What is differential air pressure?

Differential air pressure is a term of comparison. It may be stated as "the difference in air pressure between..." and finished from there. Let's look at a sentence and then break it down. "The differential air pressure across the body of the 747 is a cause of concern over the life of the aircraft." A jet at altitude has a pressurized cabin. The outside air pressure is very low. (Think Mount Everest. Almost no one climbs it without suplimental oxygen.) There is a difference between the air pressure inside the cabin and the air pressure outside the cabin. This is an instance of differential air pressure. The differential air pressure puts stress on the body of the plane. When the aircraft is back on the ground, the differential pressure disappears. The alternating application and neutralization of stress across the hull damages the structure over the life of the airframe. The differential pressure is the difference between the pressure of the air in the (pressurized) cabin at altitude and the pressure of outside air at that altitude.
