Interesting Facts About Airplanes

On an airliner, the cockpit is usually referred to as the flight deck. This term derives from its use by the RAF for the separate, upper platform where the pilot and co-pilot sat in large flying boats.

An aircraft cabin is the section of an aircraft in which any passengers travel, often just called the cabin. At cruising altitudes, if the surrounding atmosphere is too thin to breathe without an oxygen mask, cabin pressurization adapts the cabin to atmospheric pressures.
