  2. Cabin pressurization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabin_pressurization

    The pressure inside the cabin is technically referred to as the equivalent effective cabin altitude or more commonly as the cabin altitude. This is defined as the equivalent altitude above mean sea level having the same atmospheric pressure according to a standard atmospheric model such as the International Standard Atmosphere. Thus a cabin ...

    That means that the pressure is 10.9 pounds per square inch (75 kPa), which is the ambient pressure at 8,000 feet (2,400 m). Note that a lower cabin altitude is a higher pressure. The cabin pressure is controlled by a cabin pressure schedule, which associates each aircraft altitude with a cabin altitude.

  6. Uncontrolled decompression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncontrolled_decompression

    Cabin doors are designed to prevent losing cabin pressure through them by making it nearly impossible to open them in flight, whether accidentally or intentionally. The plug door design ensures that when the pressure inside the cabin exceeds the pressure outside, the doors are forced shut and will not open until the pressure is equalized. Cabin ...

  7. Boyle's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyle's_law

    Graph of Boyle's original data [4] showing the hyperbolic curve of the relationship between pressure (P) and volume (V) of the form P = k/V. The relationship between pressure and volume was first noted by Richard Towneley and Henry Power in the 17th century. [5] [6] Robert Boyle confirmed their discovery through experiments and published the ...

    Time of useful consciousness (TUC), also effective performance time (EPT), is defined as the amount of time an individual is able to function effectively (e.g. perform flying duties) in an environment of inadequate oxygen supply. [1]
