Is the Caravan Pressurized?

[CK]

I've always wondered if the Caravan was presurrized or not, so is it?

 

[Baronman]

Don't think so....Just guessing by the types of doors that it has, not typical of an aircraft w/ a pressurized vessel.

 

[EatSleepFly]

Nope.

 

[CK]

I didn't think something with windows that big was pressurized.

In my bare bones understanding of gas laws, it's not the size of the window that is the problem, but the shape.

Am I wrong?

Exactly corrrect, ever see a square ballon.

Not necessarily the shape, but it does limit the differential pressure. The Gulfstreams are proud of their huge oval windows, and they hold a pretty good dif. Then there is the Turbo Commanders with huge rectangle windows. I've never flown one, but it probably doesn't hold a big dif.
