Frequent pilots are familiar with airplanes. But there are things on the planes that such people do not even know about. These secrets are really only known to pilots, flight attendants or even passengers who are curious about these.

Today I bring to you some secrets that only such flight attendants and staff know. Read on to find out how much you know about this.

01. Hooks on wings

Passengers have to climb on slippery wings to access the sliding exit, which is used in most emergency exits. When the hook is tied with a rope and the other end is tied at the beginning of the emergency exit, passengers can hang on to it without any trouble.

02. The ax in the cockpit

The cockpit is the part of a plane where the two pilots are. As a rule of thumb in many lands, this ax should be placed in the cockpit. It can be used to extinguish a fire as well as to open a closed door. It can also be used to create a new output. Where it is difficult to exit the existing gates, suitable places to make a new exit are marked on the aircraft.

03. Small hole in windows

There are three panes of glass in an airplane window. The outer one can withstand external pressure and the inner one can withstand damage from the inside. The hole is in the middle plate. The center plate regulates air flow and the hole helps to balance the pressure difference. Also, this hole blocks the possibility of water vapor deposition between the glass plates.

04. Additional power supply

It makes a sound even when an aircraft is not started. This voice is heard from the APU. This unit also provides the power needed to power the aircraft’s main engines. It is also useful for terminal units that are difficult to maintain frequently.

05. Air Marshal

An Air Marshal is a passenger on board an aircraft for the safety of its occupants. They travel unidentified, either between passengers or separately. They have the ability to handle an annoying passenger, as well as deal with an armed terrorist. He has his own Air Marshal service in the United States, France and Canada, and has made a film about it.

06. Staff rest area

Some aircraft have small cabins for the flight attendants to rest on. This is not a very comfortable one and is designed to be sneaky. However, on a long flight, you can take a nap if needed.

07. Handles near emergency exit door

These handles are designed to prevent passengers from being pushed out by passengers scrambling near the entrance in the event of an unrest inside the aircraft. This may seem a bit strange, but it makes sense for the flight attendants to grip the handles tightly, as people are terribly agitated on an airplane.

08. Air Conditioning

Have you ever wondered where the air you breathe in comes from? It actually comes from the composter stage of each engine turbine in the aircraft. This may be the reason for the illusion that the air in the planes is dirty. But this air is purified, cooled and then released. Also, 95% of the bacteria in the air are destroyed during this cleaning process.

09.Cooper vane

This device was installed in aircraft due to a mysterious hijacking that has not yet been solved. 1971 A man posing as Dan Cooper, who bought a plane ticket, hijacked the plane, extorted a large ransom and fled with a parachute. The identity of this person was never revealed and therefore the device was fitted so as not to allow the doors to be opened during the flight.

10. Black triangle

On some planes, a small black triangle appears near the passenger seats. This marks where the wings of the aircraft are best viewed. This can help the pilot to see the position of the wings in the event of a sudden malfunction of the indicators.👇
