Hi guys
We are doing a physics project in school concerning the thermodynamics of flight and I have some questions I was hoping you could help me with. I need to estimate how much heat is lost from the cabin to the outside when flying at 10000m. I have calculated the approximate outside temperature given the sea-level temperature but I don't know how planes are insulated! It is my impression that the hull is typically made of an exterior aluminum skeleton followed by the insulation and finally the inner cabin wall. In this setup the main insulation effect will probably come from the insulating material. I expect the insulation to be at least as good as the ones used in modern buildings but I don't know how much of it is used - can you give me some examples of the width of the insulation please? Thank you in advance. Best regards Andreas |
