Altitude and barometric pressure are closely related. As altitude increases, barometric pressure decreases, or stated another way, barometric pressure is inversely proportional to altitude. This is ...

Despite what extraordinarily overpowered quadcopters suggest, the air pressure of whatever a flying machine flys at is extremely important. Pressure is dependent on altitude and temperature, and there ...

An E6B flight computer is a vital pilot's tool designed for calculating various flight parameters, including groundspeed, fuel burn, time en route, and density altitude, by aligning values on its ...

The Federal Aviation Administration has ordered airlines to test cabin altitude pressure switches in all Boeing 737s, saying some operators have reported that both switches on several aircraft had ...

One of the pleasures of this job is hearing from readers. Some write to correct my errors or to note my omissions. Some are hostile, though the population recommending my immediate consignment to the ...

Few studies have been conducted on blood pressure monitors and their use at high altitude. This study is the first to evaluate the accuracy of an automatic blood pressure monitor in a high-altitude ...

The combination of alcohol plus cabin pressure at cruising altitude may threaten sleeping plane passengers' heart health, particularly on long haul flights, suggests the first study of its kind, ...

Any re-engining programme is about obtaining the maximum fuel efficiency benefit at the least cost while accepting certain compromises. For the 777X, Boeing would introduce an all-new engine and scale ...

When we go up to Flagstaff from the Valley, our car tires lose 2-3 pounds of pressure. On the other hand, potato chip bags in Flagstaff all look like they're fully inflated Mylar balloons. I gather ...
