It's a trying time for Boeing. |

ednut1: Very simple - successful ejection by parachute or any other means requires serious training that will take days and weeks. Will commercial airlines be able to train every passenger on their aircraft on how to successfully jump out of an aircraft, open the parachute & successful land on earth, before every flight??!! How feasible is that? In addition, like someone else has said, people could be sucked into the engines if they eject from the aircraft close to the engines. Also, fear and shock of being out in the air at thousands of feet above sea level can kill some people before they reach the ground. Summary - ejection not feasible for commercial aircraft, only feasible for military aircraft! |

phunkypalace: However, d cost is not d issue. The same parachutes will b in d plane in every flight. I didn't say parachutes should b replaced for every flight. The parachute can b in d plane for years without use, so I dont think there is a problem as per cost. U also said weight has to be considered. Yeah, parachutes can't be embedded to already made planes but we are contemplating if aircraft producers can put all hose parameters into consideration and build special planes that can house parachutes. |

phunkypalace: U wanna jump out a plane at 30000 feet? That's why there's a raft that drops down and deploys the parachute at the recommended altitude |

@phunkypalace, you must be an Aviation Lecturer!! You made it so simple with your analysis! I enjoyed ur analysis. God bless you. Pls why is it that it is nearly impossible to find major human parts at crash scenes.? 147 people perished without retrieving major human bodies. It is terrible. |

NEIGHBOUR: Human bodies get fragmented, ground up and scattered like confetti at the crash scene. The meat is bagged at the scene, and identified primarily by DNA, since there is nothing much else that is left after impact. |

Siralgebra04: Chief, did you see my other comments?......Every aircraft designed works with some laws in physics. Most important is to beat the law of gravity. Yes Aircraft manufacturers can design one, but the total number of passengers such aircraft can convey at once would be drastically reduced. Like I cited an example earlier about the Lagos To Dubai flight. Emirates operate that flight with a Boeing 777 on daily basis with over 380 passengers in that aircraft. But do you know that the 777 can actually carry more than 400? The reason why Emirates will not carry 400 passengers is not far fetched. The weight is the utmost consideration. They have to consider the total weight of the aircraft which consist of the fuel, passengers, cargo and the OEW. So if manufactures design an aircraft that can convey both passengers and parachutes, I bet you the maximum number of passengers it will take would be around 150-170 and that is even without cargo and fuel. So tell me Emirates operate a 777 with 380 passenger's for 190k, so how much will they make with an aircraft that will convey just 170 passengers? They will still pay for the airspace of each country they pass through before the destination, they will pay for Aviation fuel too and all other miscellaneous fees. It will be total loss except they can increase the flight fee to around 1m per passenger for a one way trip. Then they can make their needed profit. So some people will be able to fly but so many people won't be able to make the fee. That is where my definition of flying being expensive comes into play. |

NEIGHBOUR: The major body of an aircraft is made with an hard plastic, that is why it is not advisable to fly an aircraft into turbulence or heavy wind gust. The wind would control it and it can lead to unexpected results. To answer your question, the impact an aircraft which has lost control would make into earth is something unexplainable at times. An aircraft when configured to land should not exceed 900ft/min when descending. If it descend above that, it is an automatic missed approach and the pilot must go around because if he forces the aircraft to land with that rate of descent, only God knows what will happen. So imagine an aircraft descending at 7,800ft/pm.....the impact on ground alone is enough to scatter the whole parts of the aircraft and passengers in it without considering the explosion yet. It is not what anyone would pray for. |
