Pressurisation
A form of climate control of an aircraft. An air compressor increases the pressure of the air inside the cabin of a high-flying aircraft to a value that allows the occupants to breathe normally. Without pressurization, supplemental oxygen would be needed when flying above an altitude of about 10,000 feet.
