It will not work because Nigerian airlines will sell the parachute when there is no money for fuel.

Explorers:


Even if it fits, most plane crashes occurs so sudden, like power or electrical failure. Situation like these will make the plane to lose stability, so there wont be time to move about 200 passengers or more to emergency exit(If they've all been trained to jump).

Note, there will be nursing mothers on board, crying kids, fathers, mothers, couples hugging each other, old men&women, disabled, sick people and so on.

For 30mins or more, crews will be struggling to fix the jump gears on the passengers and crash impact is less than 2mins.


What about these parachute-like seats of fighter jets I see in the movies where d pilot presses a button n is promptly ejected from the top. Any future plans to have that on commercial planesv

Nice idea,but wot about the pilots nd co pilot,na die be dia own destinies??

I ran into it online sometimes ago, what i deduced was that they will all move to the detachable cabin before ejection.

Before nko? Dem pilots no get access to Normal plane cabin?.

@Bolded, i beg to disagree bro, i think the best way to have enough for every passanger is to incorporate the parachutes into the seats, i mean it looks more like a bag/backsack and its not even as big as a camp bag, so i believe they should be able to fit it into the seats, i have the idea already grin
And how do you expect many people on a passenger plane to get Ejected off the craft should the parachutes gets incorporated into their seats as it is in a fighter jet planes?

lmaooo dude you are funny o... Something weighing all that tons?
I don't see any thing funny about his idea, this Idea you think is laughable could be what will revolutionise the world of aviation. Besides, america even before the gulf war in Iraq back in the 1990's already have place a vital use for parachutes on some of their high speed fighter Jets, one which is it is use to reduce speed of the plane after a successful landing.

And if he has this idea on the use of Parachute on passenger plane, it do not necessarily mean a single parachute is capable of taking the whole weight but could mean several numbers of Parachutes when place on a plane could be just enough to take the weight and greatly reducing the impact associated from a plane's free fall, as he puts it.

SIMPLE, NO ONE TO PROVIDE
attempting to use parachutes on a commercial airliner is as good as making each seat ejection capable. very impossible

Explorers:
7. Whole Plane Parachutes May Save Lives In Future.



There is hope, however. Over the past few years, many small planes have been equipped with whole-plane parachutes that slow the craft’s descent.

As of late 2013, the largest planes equipped with these safety devices carry five people, but plans are in the works for putting them on larger crafts.

As one manufacturer said, “There is no doubt that big commercial airlines of the future will be equipped with some kind of parachute recovery system.”

Well, how to have about 200-300 passengers to jump off the plane is what we should be discussing, that of Jet fighter is not what i have in mind, but the parachutes to still be in bag form and should be easy to eject out of the back rest of the seat to be worn and not to shoot out like that of Jet fighters, further to back the idea, i think planes should have more backdoors like four or six, most plane has just one.

[quote author=sleekydee1 post=51721583]

how can u b wondering? if u re a science student(no offence to art n commercial folks), envisage a crashing airplane it now and answer dis questions

(1) if dey hv parachutes. whr will dey pass out?(remember no eject button)

(2) a plane crash wud most likely b out of balance eida sideways or nose dive, in situations like dt, how do u get to d exist to use ur parachute?


only way a parachute will b possible in commercial airlines is if we hv a new advanced airplanes, dt has eject buttons and uses same tech convertible cars uses, roof slide open, eject button activated.


I see nothing difficult here or specifically for science students comprehension

i feel its possible for airplanes to have parachutes. this can only happen if the roof of the plane is detachable with the presence of an ejectable seat which launches the parachute upon detachment from the plane
