Density altitude (DA) reduces aircraft performance; it's pressure altitude adjusted for temperature and humidity, and even one of these factors can significantly impact performance. High DA increases ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A three-person Army Black Hawk helicopter crew may not have received accurate altitude readings in their cockpit or an important transmission from air traffic control before the deadly crash with a ...

A Mission That Went Wrong at the Edge of Space Two hours into a routine surveillance flight in 2006, U2 pilot Kevin Henr ...

Cabin altitude defines the effective air pressure passengers feel inside an aircraft. The lower the simulated altitude, 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 ...
