Blew my mind.

This is my substitute for a bad science pun, because I can't think of any.
<3 That's one! Thanks for at least trying! :-p


By the way, Red Lemon, you're referring to Absolute pressure, where as the OP is talking about gauge pressure, which is only useful if the outside atmosphere isn't changing (which it is). You need to use absolute pressure to do any calculations....all the math needed is in my tl;dnr, you would just need to find out what the cargo hold conditions were at 40,000 feet. I guarantee it's not 2.7PSI and -70F!
