The anatomy of a commercial flight – all you ever wanted to know:   Part two   

Aerotime

While many believe that down-pull blinds are simply more susceptible to turbulence or heavy landings, making them more likely to simply drop down, there is an even more logical explanation than this. This again is a safety feature, but one which has traditionally been misinterpreted.

More air molecules in engine cylinders allow the engine to produce more power; more air molecules moving across the propellor blades and wings means more efficient thrust and lift. Bad data caused by turbulence, turns, and other anomalies was discarded. As altitude increases, air molecules spread out, resulting in less power and lift.
