A heavy duty parachute would suffice. It may sound crazy, but with science, almost anything can be achieved. plus, the essence of the parachute is not to suspend the chopper in the air, it is rather to reduce the degree of impact on the ground.

It's only a suggestion though, Those in aviation line could look into it.
After all, hot air ballons could be used to lift really heavy weights.
Are you guys Nigerians? The debate or shall we say presentation from you all should be happening in a board room with multinationals.

Nice to know we have problem solvers.

Sensors would be in place so the entire craft dismembers itself once there's an engine failure first the blade then the side doors and then the spring beneath the seat bullet shotos them 20 to 30 feet into the sky and then the wprachute spreads


This ideas were used in American movies in the early 90s . I'm shocked this engineering system hasn't been employed in modern craft. Althought Kobe craft is old sha


I can practically make a prototype of this helicopter design for the right price


Engineering machine design isn't a strange field with me
The entire aircraft dismembers itself? and where would these dismembered parts land? they would end up landing in different locations on the ground killing innocent passersby going about their businesses.

Just assume a helicopter blade disengages mid air and lands in a crowded place, then the heavy engine lands in another crowded place, then the doors land in another crowded place. it would end up causing even more commotion.

Bro, America is not Nigeria where we don't value life. This people normally carry out proper investigation into whatever happen no matter how small it is. That will enable them to possibly prevent such in the future and punish any act of negligence or incompetent in the working environment.

The parts of crafts are made from light metal aluminium has a relatively light density and won't create much damage ...also as the viscosity of the dismembered parts flow through the air the air pressure causes it's density tonfirtyer deduce hence its impact force dwindles four times it's actual density


I have many of such machine designs. If I find their rightht sources I am willing to share many of my designs for free

If the blade disengages, it goes a different way, killing a different set of people, while the chopper would still eventually crash, killing another set of people. Leaving only the people on board as the survivors. But if the blades stay put to the chopper, a lesser fatality would be meted out on innocent passersby.

Parachuting the entire chopper would suffice, the parachute could be positioned in a way that the rotating blades would not affect the suspending ropes.
Good suggestion, but such a parachute may not work in a spiralling(as is likely to be) craft about to crash

The seat has to shoot the passengers several feet into the air and the force opens the parachute. Many action films around 1990 embraced this concept. I'm shocked this wasn't embraced in this Chopper's design. Although having engineering systems is one thing the discretion of the air craft operator is another thing

True, at that point, the craft could tilt to any random direction. The design could be modified, or a completely different solution be provided, but something should at least be done to reduce air travel accident fatalities.

During a crash all still comes down. Infact dismembershipnpf components before impact on ground refuses damage and collision force considerably

You are just behaving like a fool.

Someone that uses flight anytime he gat a game, he even assist his daughter whenever she gat a game.

Travelling by helicopter is also risk as anything could happen; engine could fail, mist, fog, even turbulence or hurricane can affect the state of the helicopter.



It is just like telling a Soldier man that he would die in a gun battle

Telling a thief that he would be set ablaze one day by mobs


Telling a prostitute that she would contract Hiv on day

Telling a highway driver that he would have accident one day

Telling a snake charmer that he would be bitten one day out of carelessness

Telling a pilot he would die in a crash

Telling a trailer driver that he would settle in a dish one day

So forget all those prediction.

If he had used his ride, this would have been avoided.

Is this seat ejection you talk about possible in a Chopper? The rotor blades could slice up the ejectees

Thanks to you all. I just had one of the best ideas of my life... I've solved a puzzle on how to end all aircraft crashes. Damn. Where can I communicate what just came to my mind embarassed


About the chopper blades. The helicopter dismembers itself immediately there's multiple engine fiwlure start jg with the chopper then both side doors then the seats thrusts passengers upward 10-30feet up and the parachute pulls out

There are a lot of technology. Please do a google search on TAWS(Terrain Avoidance Warning System), GPWS ( Ground Proximity Warning System), TCAS ( Traffic Collision Avoidance System). These are technologically advanced systems on aircrafts to prevent situations like this. How the pilots uses them is up to the individual person. Have you read the prelim report on the crash.

1.The Pilot was operating in foggy weather (meaning he does not have visuals)
2. The Pilot was operating on Special VFR (tricky scenerio)

I read he requested to climb to a higher altitude but missed a mountain by about 20ft (unconfirmed report).

So this whole thing points to Pilot Error, not the aircraft.

board member Jennifer Homendy said the helicopter did not have a terrain awareness and warning system, which provides the pilot with information about the terrain.

It seems the pilot may have deliberately plunged the chopper....was he depressed or terminally ill ?

Can you imagine? What if he was paid or forced to deliberately mash the stuff into the mountain? shocked

We are forgetting what truly matters. This is deliberate. I just reasoned this even deeper.

If a plane traveled at 2000feet in minutes and then crashed it won't flal so hardly if it wasn't deliberate. The dude flew the helicopter high to get the required altitude for the momentum and deliberetepy threw it down. This isn't an engine error.

The pilots. Forced erroros not wanting to wait for protocol, miscommunication with the towers are indicators of a planned work by the pilot. The pilot killed Kobe for fun. To mock the world and to make the world suffer pain.

An helicopter won't fall 2000 feet within minutes for an helicopter that has multipsel engines where a pilot cna switch from one engine to the other if it wasn't that he deliberately wanted to crash the chopper.


We hear investigations will be carried out and it's reports would be published in exactly one year for now. Let's keep our fingers crossed
