A
Flying can be fun and exciting, no matter what you choose to do. But have you ever thought about what happens on the plane?
Here are some of the most interesting things that happen. Do planes drop human waste while in flight?
When you flush （冲）a toilet on a plane at an altitude of 30,000 feet, there must be a question in your mind: “Is this about to land on a farmer’s house?”
Take it easy. A plane’s toilets cannot be emptied in the sky. The waste is stored in tanks on board and can only be operated by the ground crew.
However, why is news like “blue ice falling out of a plane” reported? Is blue ice human waste? Stories about blue ice are true but rarely happen. The FAA said some toilet holding tanks have a blue chemical in them. If a tank leaks high in the air, the water freezes once it hits the outside air, and melts before it lands on the ground.
Is turbulence (颠簸) dangerous?
It’s scary, uncomfortable and spills your drink. But is turbulence something you really need to worry about?
Absolutely not. It’s part of flying, and it isn’t dangerous. Turbulence is caused when two masses of air hit one another at different speeds. Wind, thunderstorms and closeness to mountains are all possible reasons. Despite how dangerous it feels, turbulence won’t crash your plane. Even in extremely rough air, the wing is not going to break off.

Why are plane windows round?
If you have traveled by plane before, you may have noticed that every plane window has a round design. This isn’t to make the plane look good. It’s for the safety of everyone on board.
As the airplane flies higher and higher, the outside atmospheric pressure gets lower and lower. In the end, the pressure inside the plane becomes greater than the pressure outside. At this time, windows that can resist pressure are needed.
Square windows can crack. The different pressure inside and outside put stress on the right angles. However, rounded corners help to reduce these stresses by spreading them around the window.
