Topic	FAA study on the Survival of "wheel-well passengers" at high altitude
captpackrat 01/26/22 9:06:51 PM #3:	While it looks like there's plenty of room inside with the gear down, there really isn't. Aircraft designers don't waste space, so it's very tightly packed when the gear is retracted. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/9/9/AAQwHjAAC2pD.jpg Plus the wheel wells are unpressurized and the 747 has a service ceiling of 45,000 feet (13,600 m). The standard atmosphere at that altitude is -70F (-56.7C) and 0.15 atm (111 mmHg, 148 mbar, 4.38 in Hg or 2.15 PSI). At that pressure, your body cannot get enough oxygen even if you were breathing pure oxygen. --- Minutus cantorum, minutus balorum, Minutus carborata descendum pantorum. <cite>captpackrat posted [p:962108087] in FAA study ...
