Why is there injustice being done with fountain pens?
The fact is that planes fly at an altitude of 40,000 feet. The atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude, while the atmospheric pressure of the ink inside the fountain pen is high. Due to the difference in pressure at high altitudes, the air column exerts pressure on the ink of the fountain pen. Because of this, the ink gets deposited near the nib of the pen and the pen starts leaking.
