No parachutes because passengers would need to be orderly and patient. If they can't do that under regular conditions how would we expect them to do same in an emergency?

Exactly, there will be panic, rush and the plane wont be stable. Spinning, nose diving and like that.

Jumping is impossible.

Then parachutes should be attached to aeroplanes in order to reduce the speed of free fall of planes.

The weight and the cost of maintaining what you don't use are the issues.

If commercial airplanes need to be safer, Edo state is where to go. Benin kingdom to be precise. Teleportation can be found there or a situation whereby everyone can be given a magical APC broom to fly out when a crash is inevitable

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.

A single Martin baker ejection seat cost about 200thousand dollars to purchase and it very bulky meaing there is no airline that can afford to install so many seats on a single plane plus the cost of modification to the air frame so the seats can exit safely...The weight of the seats would also be to much additional wieght for a commercial airline where weight ratios are the most important factors in safety and fuel consumption

Re: Why Dont Commercial Airplanes Have Parachutes For Passengers? by zamirikpo(m): 11:45am On Dec 13, 2016
option 1; the planes like in number 6, should have whole plane parachutes.....that technology needs to be developed fast ,to save lives.
option 2; paasenger sites should be ejectable and should have parachutes, just like they have in some military aircrafts....where the pilot can eject and save himself.....

life in the skies should be taken more seriously........na money e go chop......life is priceless....

Can you imagine.

And my hyperactive mind was just wondering about this just this morning, thinking about when and how to get my private jet so I can stuff it with parachutes. grin

And to think there was a time when our forefathers disappeared and appeared at their destinations in the blink of an eye.

We really have fallen as a race. sad cry

Lol Explorer believe I wanted to ask you this same question today.. shocked

Was even thinking since they crash land, why dont planes have landing foam that will deploy once the pilot feels its necessary. To enable soft landing that won't cause the plane to break etc.
Landing foam ke? You think say plane na Geepee Tank? That shit is heavy AF., and with that speed youd need a foam softer than my GFs nyash and bigger than 50 feet to do any reasonable damage control

yeah most time befor a crash passengers have some limited time to escape if parachutes wer available is better to have it than non

@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

is better to reduce the loads people travel with and install this parachute

Planes are designed to be airtight. So even if you are experienced in parachuting how are you going to use a parachute? Through which exit? If a plane is about to crash, the worst thing to do is to let air in from any openings.

Well that too, but incorporating it in the seats is the best bet, no added weight would be incured.

u forgot that theres also an exit root down on the pland and u can also use a nose dive to maximise injury

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.”

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).


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


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.


but no poor men and women
I concur.
