Waste whizzes through the plumbing to the rear of the plane, where it’s stored in sealed tanks, well away from passengers, until the plane touches down. On a long-haul 747 flight, travelers might flush the toilets around 1,000 times, creating around 230 gallons of sewage—that’s a lot of waste! WhatRead More →
The Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 91.119 indicates that, except when necessary for departure or landing, the minimum altitude over urban areas is 1,000 feet above ground level (AGL) and 500 feet AGL over rural areas. How do I know if my house is under flight path? You need toRead More →
Single engine propeller aircraft For a counter-clockwise turning propeller, the aircraft has a tendency to yaw to the right. The clockwise turning propeller is by far the most common. The yaw is noticeable when adding power, though it has additional causes including the spiral slipstream effect. Why do planes notRead More →
If a cabin crew does not remember to pressurize the cabin, as with the Jet Airways flight, the gases in your body will expand beyond what they are supposed to, rupturing tissues and causing bleeding. These injuries are called barotrauma. Why are planes not pressurized to sea level? Two reasons:Read More →

One reason is the aforementioned higher air density near the ground. The other is due to wing flaps, which are activated during takeoff and landing. When the flap is raised, it increases the coefficient of lift associated with the airplane significantly. Can a helicopter hover? The defining characteristic of aRead More →
