10 psi differential, they say. I believe the highest the original designs in the 20 series were certified to was 51,000, and it wasn't really a good idea even then. With 10 psid, what would that make the cabin pressure during a typical geosyncronous orbit...something like 80,000' cabin pressure altitude?

There is apparently a miniscule difference in the pressurization requirements between 51,000' and 330,000'. Think about it - there is already hardly any air left at FL510.

This project was in the news awhile back and is in the current issue of General Aviation News. It is an interesting concept, but I don't think I will be investing!
 
Lighten up avbug, she is a flight attendant on a Global Express, she spends a lot of time at 8000 feet cabin altitude.
