Not having an aviation background, I wonder what the atmospheric pressure is
at altitudes at which these experimental aircraft actually fly. I wouldn't
have guessed that it is nearly as low as 7.5psi. Still seems to me that the
minimum acceptable pressure should be used for both nucleate boiling and leak
prevention reasons.
