Abstract The cabin pressurization and air management chapter discusses the impetus for operating with pressurized cabins, the desire to fly above weather and provide a smoother ride for passengers and crew. The chapter provides a description of how cabins are pressurized, generally using engine bleed air. It also discusses the trade-offs that occur between higher cabin pressure levels which must rely on stronger, usually heavier fuselages. Finally it shows the complicated arrangement of heat exchangers, turbines, and compressors that provide conditioned air to keep the passenger compartment at a comfortable temperature, even when the outside temperature is −40.
