Planes used by the United States during World War II were not pressurized or sealed from outside air. As a result, the temperature inside was the same as the surrounding air temperature outside. Suppose the temperature inside a B-17 Flyinf Fortress is 50∘F at takeoff and then drops to −30∘F when the plane reaches its cruising altitude of 28,000 feet. Find the difference in temperature inside the plane.
