If the door of an aircraft opened up during the flight.?
Answers:
Yes you would get sucked out of an open door. Partly by the pressure and depending on the size/position of the hole by the slipstream (or ventury effect). Don't believe everything the Mythbusters show you.. Their plane was NOT moving! Look at UAL 811!
- No you are incorrect about the doors can't open in flight.- It depends on the door. The "plug" doors like in the over-wing exits are held tight by the pressure and you would have to be really strong to pull against the pressure to open them. But other doors can be opened during flight.
Remember what happened to UAL 811. A door opened at pressure and people were sucked out and into the engines. No mythbusters required for this one.

But the most disturbing in flight door incident was the HP flight.

This was a pressurized plane owned by HP. I am still very suspect what really happened to this poor woman especially when you look at the chain of events and it took people 45 minutes to call 911 after the plane landed??
Suck you out i think ? =)
it would suck. in both ways
sucker question
You are correct. Aircraft are pressurized to keep passengers comfortable, but if a door were opened or a window was broken or even if someone shot a hole in the fuselage with a gun, the vacuum effect would suck the air out of the plane. In the case of a door being opened, it is very possible that passengers could get sucked out.
i think you would be sucked
push you out
Send this question to Myth Busters, I bet they will put it to the test.
are you taking pot??
i suppose the answer wud be it wud push you out. the air inside the cabin wud be fighting to get out and if you're in the way then it wud push you towards the hole. how very deep lol
If that happened you wouldn't have to worry whether you were pushed or sucked cos you'd be busy praying you were a crow.
There are easier and safer ways of getting sucked on an aircraft, try asking one of the cabin crew. ;)
I think the pressure would suck you out.
suck you out
depends on your altitude
you would fall out
and wish that you'd packed a parachute that morning
suck.
the answer to this question can come from both sides - however a few basic principles need to be remembered - well one really . the aircraft is pressurised - therefore the pressure inside the cabin is greater than that outside. If a breach in the fuselage was to occur the flow of air would tend to go from inside to outside until such time as the pressure was equalised. When this movement of air was happening anything not fixed or tied down would be dragged with the airflow both pushed along and pulled along at the same time until the flow of air stopped. Hope this helps
explosive decompression - the air rushes out: like a large cola bottle, only with people and luggage vs gut rotting cola.
Mechanically this can't happen. The air pressure inside the aircraft is greater than the pressure outside and holds the door in place. There are very clever mechanicals to allow the door to open outwards but when closed it acts as though it were closed from the inside.
When the Aloha AIr 737 gained a sudden sunroof, the crack started by the door frame but the door held and the skin gave way. Aircraft landed safely with only one loss of life. A stewardess who wasn't strapped in at the time.
"aircraft are pressurised to keep passengers comfortable"? hehe, I suppose being alive is intrinsically linked to comfort. At around 12,000 feet the atmospheric pressure is such that a person cannot intake enough oxygen. flying at 30k for 3 or 4 mins without pressure means you'd fall asleep and never wake.
Sucked out.
In the 90's a BA pilot was sucked out of a cockpit window at 17,000 feet, he survived as other staff held onto his legs until they landed.
Engineers had used the incorrect screws to fit the window pane.
A door simply cant be opened in an comercial aircraft due to its construction. The presure from the cabin press the door to the wall of the ac. The only option to open a door is to blow it apart, or blow any other part of the aircraft fusulage apart. Stop worring about what will happen since it wont happen, will you! Johan
They experimented with that on Mythbusters. and no.. it would not
it would suck u out because there is high pressure in the aircraft nd low pressure outside so they would equal out and u would be suked
It is a common MYTH that you are 'sucked' out.
You are in fact BLOWN out.
It's all to do with the 'ambient' pressure of the SURROUNDINGS.ie - atmospheric pressure at that location.
eg. the air BLOWS out of a pressurised container such as a tyre, gas canister it is NOT sucked out.
Seeing how this is a differential pressure question, it would be both depending on which side of your body you were concerned with, pushing from the inside of the plane and sucking from the outside.
I believe you are asking about a commercial airliner with a pressurized cabin.
The rushing air would carry you and any loose objects out the door. This event would happen quickly, not like in a movie.
Once the pressure was equal it would stop.
There would be a lot of wind noise.
There is no real sucking out effect. It would be termed an equalization of pressure.
Once it was done the effect is gone.
Skydivers stand at the door waiting to jump out, not get sucked out.
ewe that is to nasty dont kiss him he might have aids
The air pressure is much higher up at 20,000 feet. that means there's not that much oxygen. If the door were to open a pressure vacum would be created and you would get sucked right out .
You cant open the door inflight, but if you could you would be sucked out
