22. The air you breathe on an airplane is actually compressed air taken from the engines. A large portion (25% to 50%) is blown in the flightdeck, the rest is for the passengers. The air leaves the airplane via a small hole in the back of the fuselage." Boeing's website explains that air from the engine’s compressors helps to warm and pressurize air from outside the plane. This treated air is then circulated into the cabin for you to breathe. 1 Like 1 Share
