What does the Bleed Air System supply?

Explanation:
Bleed air comes from the engine compressor stages as hot, high‑pressure air and is routed to multiple aircraft systems. In this aircraft, the Bleed Air System provides that air to the environmental control system for cabin conditioning and pressurization, to the OBOGS (oxygen generation system) to produce breathable oxygen, and to pressurize the external fuel tanks. It does not supply coolant or hydraulic pressure, and the crew’s oxygen is generated by OBOGS using the bleed air as its source rather than being supplied directly.
