In this book, Dr. Andras Sobester reviews the science behind high altitude flight. He takes the reader on a journey that begins with the complex physiological questions involved in taking humans into the "death zone." How does the body react to falling ambient pressure? Why is hypoxia (oxygen deficiency associated with low air pressure) so dangerous and why is it so difficult to 'design out' of aircraft, why does it still cause fatalities in the 21st century? What cabin pressures are air passengers and military pilots exposed to and why is the choice of an appropriate range of values such a difficult problem? How do high altitude life support systems work and what happens if they fail? What ...

As the Earths population grows and migrates, air and space travel as we currently know it will have to change to meet the requirements of a new society. This exciting book looks at the possibilities and probabilities of future air and space travel. It reports on the latest experimental research, including up-to-date artists renderings, color plates, and more than 200 figures and tables. It also details applications for these new systems and vehicles.
Includes the Committee's Technical reports no. 1-1058, reprinted in v. 1-37.
