The speed of the airplane at altitude has nothing to do with it. The pressure differential between the cabin and the great outdoors is the only factor...airspeed does not exert any pressure on the sides of the fuselage. Bob Gardner Well, yes and no. It depends on the shape of the hole and its placement relative to the geometry of the fuselage (that is: relative to the apparent air flow). With speed, the hole may assist adding pressure (as does a forward-pointing pitot tube) or it may assist depressuring, due to Bernoulli effect, (as demonstrated by a household-plumbing vent-stack in a strong wind).
