The aft pressure bulkhead or rear pressure bulkhead is the rear component of the pressure seal in all aircraft that cruise in a tropopause zone in the Earth's atmosphere. [1] It helps maintain pressure when stratocruising and protects the aircraft from bursting due to the higher internal pressure.
An airliner fuselage, such as this Boeing 737, forms an almost cylindrical pressure vessel.. Cabin pressurization is a process in which conditioned air is pumped into the cabin of an aircraft or spacecraft in order to create a safe and comfortable environment for humans flying at high altitudes.
On an aircraft, bulkheads divide the cabin into multiple areas. On passenger aircraft a common application is for physically dividing cabins used for different classes of service (e.g. economy and business.) On combination cargo/passenger, or "combi" aircraft, bulkhead walls are inserted to divide areas intended for passenger seating and cargo ...
AMES Completes Aft Pressure Bulkhead Replacement on B767F First Project Of Its Kind Ever Performed by Non-OEM Provider WILMINGTON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Airborne Maintenance and Engineering ...
Airline supplier Spirit Aerosystems says it's aware of a quality issue involving elongated fastener holes on the aft pressure bulkhead on certain models of the 737 fuselage it produces. “Boeing ...
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.
The upper skin of the tail had been blown outwards, strongly suggesting that difference in internal pressure from the aircraft had caused the separation of the components. [5] Reconstruction on the aircraft wreckage indicated that the rear pressure bulkhead had suffered a corrosion at the lower part of the bulkhead.
The empennage of an Atlas Air Boeing 747-200. The empennage (/ ˌ ɑː m p ɪ ˈ n ɑː ʒ / or / ˈ ɛ m p ɪ n ɪ dʒ /), also known as the tail or tail assembly, is a structure at the rear of an aircraft that provides stability during flight, in a way similar to the feathers on an arrow.
