This article presents a review of pneumatic, electro-pneumatic and digital systems for automatic pressure control in an airtight cabin and lists the types of aircraft where such systems are installed. Advanced algorithms for controlling the pressure in an airtight cabin are analyzed and literature on this topic is surveyed. The work of a Russian author that describes optimal control based on Pontryagin's maximum principle is examined. The works of foreign authors on fuzzy PID-controller,

... tive controller and other methods of adaptive pressurization are analyzed and brief results of these works are presented. The performed analysis indicates the need to use new methods and approaches to the synthesis of automatic pressure control systems for various types of aircraft. One of the most promising solutions is the use of adaptive regulators. The relevance of developing a virtual testing environment to reduce the cost of full-scale testing is shown.
