abumeinben: there are amphibious planes. What you suggested is not entirely impossible, fixing a plane with parachute. Sience has stages. I'm sure most plane makers already have the design but it may need lots of process before it can be approved and when the time is right, they will |

MrBrownJay1:Are you really sure of this your answer. I think the reason aircrafts are not loaded with full tank with fuel is because of landing problem which the aviation technology is gradually overcoming. When a plane is filled with fuel and the plane is on a short distance journey, the plane will still be above the minimum landing weight, that is the weight is bigger for the plane to land on, therefore the plane has to waste fuel or land it above it's landing weight which may cause damage to the plan. Also for safety issues, should any little crash occurs, too much fuel in plane may result to inferno. 1 Like |

martineverest: Don't be scared, planes remain the safest mode of transportation. Because accidents rarely happen, when they do it becomes big news. Use Flightradar24 to see the the thousands upon thousands of aircraft in the air, and they all takeoff and land successfully. Aircraft engines are extremely reliable, the airline business is the most regulated, and the crew are among the most trained and experienced, and the the technology and principles of flight are well developed. 1 Like |

In spite of whatever, I still prefer air travel to road. |

And they did exactly what they should have done — except they got the labels wrong. Instead of figuring out how many liters the plane needed to hit the required payload of 22,300 kg, the crew calculated how many liters were needed to hit 22,300 pounds. These are bunch of careless and non-proactive people. So if I am traveling and I knw that 20litre of fuel will take me from my originating point to exactly my terminating point, I will just go to fuel station and buy just that same 20ltrs of fuel even when I have enough money and knowing full well that there won't be any other fuel station along my way? Won't I think of if there will be traffic hold up or if something happens and I use alternative but longer route. Mr. Poster, forget stories. If fuel finishes in an Airplane mid air and at a very high altitude, the plane will come down crashing. QED |

The Gimli Glider pilots probably did the best in flight engineering to land a plane with no fuel in the history of modern aviation. Really amazing. |
