iPad KABOOM! A Success – iPad 2 Rapid Decompression Certification Available for Download
iPad2 passed a community funded rapid decompression testing to 51,000ft (DO-160F testing). Testing regime was:
- Stabilised at 8000ft for 2 hours
- Rapid decompression to 51,000ft in 15 seconds
- Held at altitude for 10 minutes.
- Returned to sea level
No battery venting, shards of glass etc. iPad2 continued operating the whole time! Well done Apple I'd say...marvellous piece of engineering.
