In what has been until now the study más complete about the air flow of the aircraft that has been made, The Department of US Defense. determinó that he risk of contagion es prápractically non-existent in flight.
Study
in august 2020, a team made up of United, USTRANSCOM, DARPA and Air Mobility Command conducting a series of aerosol tracking studies simulating a suspected COVID-19 passenger aboard Boeing aircraft 767 and 777.

The different measurements were made at all stages of the flight, Pre boarding, boarding, filming, takeoff, cruise, landing and disembarkation, in order to measure the effectiveness of different aircraft systems, which together are equivalent to the distance of 2 meters recommended by the authorities, completing 300 tests, with 38 flight hours and 45 hours on land.
The result
When the passenger is seated and using a face mask, on average, only the 0,003% of the partsínaughty infected airíeven enter your zone breatheón, even when all the seats around you areén busy or that the planeón Easté Fully loaded.
La ráask for recirculationón of the aire on board, la ventilationón diseñdown and efficient HEPA filters, they make the a grandfather's cabinón de United (and in general the industry) be one of the spaces closed sásafest in the world.
In this study, which has been the más complete so far on the possibility of contagion in flight, determinó spaghettién that the 99.99% departureíleaked out of the planeón by the different systems applied and active on aircraft.
