Hi There,

I am a design engineer working on a product that is used in commercial airliners like the 747, 777, and 787. It is plastic and gets installed in the floors near the passenger seats.

My questions are:
1. What are the normal ambient temperatures / humidity levels inside the passenger cabin.

2. When an aiprlane is sitting on the tarmac for awhile or out of service for a few days, what are the temperatures / humidity levels inside the passenger cabin in these situations.

3. As you probabley are aware, the inside of an automobile can reach very high temperatures when parked at the mall on a summer day. I have been told that the temperature here can be 150 F in about 30 minutes. What about in a closed up passenger cabin of a 777?

Any information is appreaciated.
