  2. Cabin pressurization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabin_pressurization

    The pressure differential varies between aircraft types, typical values are between 540 hPa (7.8 psi) and 650 hPa (9.4 psi). [35] At 39,000 ft (11,887 m), the cabin pressure would be automatically maintained at about 6,900 ft (2,100 m), (450 ft (140 m) lower than Mexico City), which is about 790 hPa (11.5 psi) of atmosphere pressure.

  3. Uncontrolled decompression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncontrolled_decompression

    In this test chamber, air pressure drops suddenly to that of the atmosphere at 60,000 ft (18,000 m). Air humidity immediately condenses into fog, which within seconds evaporates back into gas. The term uncontrolled decompression here refers to the unplanned depressurisation of vessels that are occupied by people; for example, a pressurised ...

  4. Leak-down tester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leak-down_tester

    A compression tester. Leak-down testing is a static test. Leak-down tests cylinder leakage paths. Leak-down primarily tests pistons and rings, seated valve sealing, and the head gasket. Leak-down will not show valve timing and movement problems, or piston movement related sealing problems. Any test should include both compression and leak-down.

  5. Pitot–static system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitot–static_system

    In some aircraft, two ADCs receive total and static pressure from independent pitot tubes and static ports, and the aircraft's flight data computer compares the information from both computers and checks one against the other. There are also "standby instruments", which are back-up pneumatic instruments employed in the case of problems with the ...

  6. Flight test instrumentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_test_instrumentation

    Flight test instrumentation (FTI) is monitoring and recording equipment fitted to aircraft for specific flight tests. The development program for a new aircraft design has a number of aircraft each of which has tasks to perform for development and certification tests. They are each fitted with FTI specific to their allotted tasks.

  7. Environmental control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_control_system

    Some aircraft, including early Boeing 707 aircraft, used vapor-compression refrigeration like that used in home air conditioners. An ACM uses no Freon: the air itself is the refrigerant. The ACM is preferred over vapor cycle devices because of reduced weight and maintenance requirements.

    It uses a pressure differential system to provide the pilot with a visual representation of reserve lift available. [ 5 ] Primary Flight Display (PFD) with the ASI in the form of "Airspeed Tape", including color coded ranges (left), and a combined ASI and Machmeter for a jet aircraft (right)
