Hmm. Does it lower structural integrity, or improves it?
- sitkack 7y agoAnd is it likely to be a condition that a plane would experience during conditions like the test? Seems like it should nullify the entire test.
- v64 7y ago100% on the test is 150% beyond what would be expected from the absolute worst case real life scenarios. It would require extraordinary circumstances beyond what has been seen or modeled in reality to push an actual flight to these limits.
- TylerE 7y agoIt's pretty typical. If the cabin is pressurised to 6,000ft (standard in a 777) and the aircraft is at it's rated celing of 43,100ft, that's about a 9psi difference.
- lultimouomo 7y agoSounds like an airplane's Valsalva maneuver...
