Default Question about being unpressurized at higher (Class A) altitudes

The specs on the Aerocanard FG state that with an LIO-360 engine the
service ceiling is FL250. Not that I would be trying to make Class A
but according to the definition of service ceiling shouldn't this
plane be able to at least make FL180 and then some?


Yes, but you probably wouldn't want to do it.

It would probably take a long time to climb that high in a naturally-aspirated
airplane, then there's the bother and discomfort of wearing a mask once you
got there.

I think you'll find the low teens is as high as you'll want to go in the
airplane you're proposing.
