List of wheel-well stowaway flights : ウィキペディア英語版 | List of wheel-well stowaway flights
This page lists known flights with stowaways, who for various reasons traveled inside the wheel well (landing gear compartment, also known as wheel bay). As of January 2014, there were 103 such attempts on 92 flights recorded by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration since 1947, 23.3% of which were successful. In at least one instance, on July 31, 2013, a cat survived a flight from Athens to Zürich in the front undercarriage of an Airbus A321. A wheel-well stowaway typically faces two life-threatening conditions during flight: hypoxia and hypothermia. Physiological threats for a stowaway are minimal at altitudes to 2,440 m (8,000 ft), but at higher altitudes reduced atmospheric pressure and partial pressure of oxygen may exert influence.〔 At all cruising altitudes of jet aircraft, the partial pressure of oxygen in a wheel well is below that required to support brain consciousness.〔 At altitudes above 6,100 m (20,000 ft) stowaways may also develop decompression sickness and nitrogen gas embolism.〔 But as a wheel-well stowaway is carried to lower altitudes, a gradual rewarming and reoxygenation occur.〔 ==References==
