Curious thought?

Question

i am not a terrorist or anything you might think. this is only a curious thought. btw, i am not thinking of actually doing this experiment.

it goes, what happens when one strikes a match or lights a lighter in an airplane? what will the flame look like, will it be a different shape and will it be hotter?

Answer 1

As far as I know the plane passenger areas are pressurized and air conditioned

so i am guessing the effect will be same as lighting a match inside any AC room

Answer 2

they dont let u carry dangerous materials such as that on a plane.

Answer 3

If the cabin is pressurised then it would look the same as say lighting a match inside( on the ground at sea level ) provided its the same air pressure.

Answer 4

No difference. I used to smoke when they let you carry lighters and smoke cigarettes on airplanes.
