. I watched this 3 years ago on science section of tomo news, this plane is possible to build, I think a Japanese company already took the challenge. It'd be a life saver I also saw the bed/safe house on same channel It's like a bed but during severe earthquake, it drops down to your basement, covers you, there's food for a week and drinks. I forgot the name but I bet you get the idea GloryIsaac: 2 Likes 1 Share |

Daeylar:it is unethical for a Captain to abandon ship with passengers aboard. He is always the last man to disembark. This case is even better as it gives him the opportunity to calm and guide the passengers while setting off other protocols for emergency help or rescue operation. Sometimes tracking and rescue could take beyond 24hours depending on location and conditions |

JOMAX:Tracking and rescue shouldn't be a big deal if lives are saved. Afterall crashed planes are already being tracked. Moreso, the passenger capsule can have its own SOS trackable devices. 1 Like |

GloryIsaac:To improve efficiency and reduce weight on hooks, divided (2 or 3 separate segments) passenger capsule each with its parachute systems ( hooks and all) or mini emergency float (Control descent) engine in each segment/separate capsule Big guns in aviation or .........monitoring or by proxy can get this info and implement . 1 Like 1 Share |

RevenGeMission: The plane will definitely be built as options are limited, and this solution can actually be made manual so as to avoid transmission failure. As for the earthquake bed, there are too many uncertainties in it, so i don't support it. |

Smily202:You dont get it. A burning plane with failed system will burn down your mumu parachute that you installed all around it. Another fact is that the speed of free fall will never allow the parachute to have a stable fall. That clip is very necessary to separate the wings and the pilot chambers. |

My little contribution is, manufacturers should make the roof of commercial airplanes convertible and ejectable seats that can be deployed simultaneously. In this case, two or three rows of seats can share a single parachute, reducing the overall cost/weight and isolophobia. |

papaejima1: I do like your reasoning..... and really wherever someone ends up they can be located by GPS...that shouldn't be an issue. Now the part quoted... that's where the whole parachute thing would not be effective. Parachutes for individuals...or for the entire cabin section (which I like better)... need to be deployed at a certain height. Since planes usually go into distress during take off and landing...they will not be at the height for parachutes to be effective. I was going to make the point that passengers bailing out at 30K to 38K feet will have breathing, pressure, hypothermia problems...but like you said... emergencies will not require a bailout at such heights. But then.... parachutes for the fat ones?...babies?...how will that work? More reasons why I'll prefer the cabin option...but.... all this be NL armchair brainstorming! |

Very educative. Thank you Op. [1quote author=Explorers post=76733022]Skydives are pre-planned. An important thing to remember about skydiving is that it occurs under perfectly normal conditions. Since the jumps are pre-planned, the skydiver knows well in advance that they are going to jump out of a moving airplane. In contrast, passengers onboard airplanes would never know in advance that they might have to take the leap in the next few minutes. Skydives are extensively planned and prepared for in advance. In essence, what you have on a commercial plane are people who have never used or seen a parachute in their lives, but have to strap on the gear effectively in only a minute or two and prepare to jump. They also have to do all this while wearing their emergency oxygen masks (we haven’t even factored in the environment of confusion and commotion that would rock the cabin in such an emergency situation where 200 passengers needs to jump in less than 2minutes). Let's us imagine a situation where the plane is nose diving. [/quote] 1 Like |

Originalsly: Parachutes can carry any human weight bro, fat, slim, adult or baby. I am yet to see any human weighing more than 300kg. Better a broken limb than dead. Remember that the device is automatic and does not need human input to activate and deploy, so if anyone can wear it and get off the plane, the system takes over and guarantees some chance of survival as against the other option of fields strewn with charred bodies and luggage. Much as this is a concept, more thought can be put into it to refine it. 1 Like |

eljay99:Bros i come back to this quote cos i remember how good it felt to reason with someone who understands. Safety in aviation this year has improved, lets pray for better in 2020 |

GloryIsaac: U failed to list the uncertainties and the earthquake bed. The earthquake bed is not a futuristic technology, it already exists. |
