Question

Air pressure increases as you travel higher above sea level. This is the reason that cabins in commercial airliners require pressurization.
True
False

Answer 1

The answer is true about the cabins in commercial airliners that require pressurization.

Why are the cabins of commercial airplanes pressurized?

Airplanes are pressurized because the air is very thin at the high altitude where they fly. The passenger jet has a cruising altitude of about 30,000 - 40,000 feet. At this altitude or height, humans can't breathe very well and our body gets less amount of oxygen. Most aircraft cabins are pressurized to an altitude about 8,000 feet. This is called cabin altitude. Aircraft pilots have access to the control's mode of a cabin pressure control system and if needed it can command the cabin to depressurize.

So we can conclude that cabins in commercial airliners require pressurization because of the greater pressure of the surrounding environment.
