Interesting things that happen on airplanes often leave passengers amazed.
For those who frequently fly, the white mist that is released during takeoff or landing is no longer a strange sight. Many have grown accustomed to this phenomenon, but not everyone knows the purpose of that white smoke. Some even humorously speculate whether it might be clouds from the sky flowing into the cabin!
The white mist emitted from the airplane ceiling is to adjust air pressure.
The answer is a definite no. According to experts, the mist is generated by a pressure control system that sprays mist to maintain air pressure in the passenger cabin during takeoff and landing.
As the airplane changes altitude, the pressure inside will fluctuate, and this is a way to minimize discomfort and ensure the utmost comfort for passengers.
Additionally, during takeoff and landing, passengers are required to raise their window shades so that crew members can observe and orient themselves to various positions on the airplane in case of an emergency.
Moreover, for daytime flights, raising the window shades and turning up the cabin lights will help passengers’ eyes adjust to the brightness outside. If an evacuation is necessary, passengers will not experience a sudden loss of vision due to abrupt changes in lighting.
