Engineers have revealed a radical new way to save plane passengers in the event of an emergency.
The design shows an aircraft with a detachable cabin that releases in emergency situations.
During take-off, landing or flight, the redesigned cabin detaches from the plane and safely lands on the ground or water– saving everyone’s lives on board.
The Engineer has revealed a design for an aircraft with a detachable cabin in case the Engines catch on fire
‘Surviving in a plane crash is possible,’ Vladimir Tatarenko, aviation engineer, told LiveLeak.
‘While aircraft engineers all over the world are trying to make planes safer, they can do nothing about the human factor.’
Tatarenko is that mastermind behind the design and has been working on this project for the past three years, according to Independent.
Parachutes are attached to the roof of the cabin that are instantly released when the cabin is detached from the plane.
There are also rubber tubes that inflate to cushion the impact to the ground or water, and the inflatable devices seem strong enough to keep the cabin afloat.
‘The existing technology of using of Kevlar and carbon composites for fuselage, wings, flaps, spoilers, ailerons, tail will be used during the design,’ Tatarenko explained.
‘It allows to partly compensate the weight of parachute system.’
The design includes a storage space that holds passengers’ luggage underneath the cabin, so there won’t be any lost luggage during the flight if it has to detach.
Independent explained viewers of the demonstration video have mixed reactions to the innovation
