Air travel is preferred to reach from one place to another because it takes less time. Millions of people travel by flight every day around the world. Some people travel by plane every second or third day. Despite traveling constantly, there are many facts about airplanes and air travel that most people are unaware of. There are many such facts related to airplanes, knowing which you will be surprised. Many things happen during a flight that you are not aware of. There are many secrets that airline companies keep hidden. Today in this episode we are going to tell you about some interesting facts related to the flight.
Why dim lights are lit
Often people think that dim lights are lit on the flight so that the eyes of the passengers can get rest and they can go through their journey while sleeping properly. Although it is not so. Apart from all these reasons, this is done so that the power supply can be saved. Actually, during landing or take-off on the runway, the plane needs extra power, due to which all the lights burning in the flight stop completely and slow lights are lit in their place.
Oxygen masks work only for 15 minutes
Airlines have the facility of oxygen masks to come in handy in case of emergency in case of low air pressure or low oxygen in flight. But do you know that in some cases they prove to be useless? In flight, the air hostess gives you information about how to use it, but these masks do not work for more than 15 minutes. After this, oxygen stops getting, due to which the condition of hyperventilation starts.
Pilots do not get passenger food
Do you know that the food you get on a flight is different from the food the pilot gets? This is because the health of the pilots is taken care of the most in flight. During air travel, they are served only light food which is easily digested. On the other hand, if the pilots are also given fried, roasted, or spicy food like the passengers, then they will remain sitting in the toilet due to stomach upset. In such a situation, who will get you land, it is a matter to think about!
There is a small invisible hole in the window of an airplane.
Airplane windows have a small invisible hole that regulates the air pressure between the windows and keeps them fog-free. Airplane windows are made from acrylic material and have three panes. The outer and inner vanes regulate the air pressure in and out of the airplane, while an invisible opening in the middle vane regulates the air pressure between the outer and inner vanes.
Pilots fall asleep at high altitude
Imagine if you are sitting in a plane and your pilot falls asleep, how would it be? It is a bit scary to hear but it is the truth. Actually, after going to the height, an air pocket starts forming inside the plane, due to which the pilot feels sleepy. In such a situation, the pilot turns on the autopilot mode of the plane before sleeping, but don't worry, after one pilot sleeps, the other pilot remains awake. In this way, even after the pilot falls asleep, the plane continues to fly smoothly in the air.
Camera in plane
If you and your partner are thinking that there is no one on the plane and you can change seats or do anything on the flight, and no one is watching you, then you are wrong. Are. Almost every flight has hidden cameras monitoring the activities of its passengers.
There is an emergency exit door in the cockpit.
Airplanes have many emergency doors for passengers through which they can get out in case of an accident. But do you know that there is an exit door in the cockpit of the aircraft which is located at different points in different types of airplanes to get the pilots out of the aircraft in case of emergency?
On someone's death
If someone dies in flight, most planes do not have a special area where the body will be kept until landing. According to the BBC, in most cases, the dead passenger is taken back to their reserved seat, and if there is no vacant seat, the body is wrapped in a blanket and laid down.
