Aeropause
A region of indeterminate limits in the upper atmosphere, considered
as a boundary or transition region between the denser portion
of the
atmosphere and
space.
From a functional point
of view, it is considered to be that region in which the atmosphere
is so tenuous as to have a negligible, or almost negligible, effect
on men and aircraft, and in which the physiological requirements
of man become increasingly important in the design of aircraft
and auxiliary equipment.
