Fin-and-tube heat exchangers are widely used in cabin ambient temperature control of aircraft under low-pressure conditions. In order to study the air-side heat transfer characteristics of fin-and-tube heat exchangers under low-pressure conditions, the air-side flow heat transfer characteristics of the fin-tubed heat exchangers under low pressure were studied numerically in ambient pressure of 5—101 kPa and inlet air velocity of 0.5—6 m/s. The research results showed that with the decrease of ambient pressure, the heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop on the air-side decreased significantly. When the air pressure was 25 kPa, the convective heat transfer coefficient on the air side decreased by 69.9%—75.6% compared with that under normal pressure. Predictive models for the air-side heat transfer factor
