It's good that we don't reward the pilots for crashing the plane. Really a moral hazard IMO.

On the other hand I bet something like that would be really useful after we made the normally super-safe air travel terrifying because the plane was now assembled in multiple detachable parts. With these new planes falling out of the sky all the time having a safety device would be great!

It's almost as if the people doing weird concept designs have literally no idea how whatever they're designing works.

Combine this with aerial refueling and a Fulton recovery system and I think we've just revolutionized air travel.

With the detaching design that clearly leaves the cockpit intact, are the pilots supposed to die or rush into the cabin and actuate the separation from there? Cause I can see a big red emergency pull handle located in the cabin ending well.

Cause I can see a big red emergency pull handle located in the cabin ending well. If it is supposed to help in cases where terrorists have captured the plane then it would be silly to have a single big red button, since the terrorists could easily prevent it from being used. IMO they should put a special toggle in every armrest, let the passengers vote that way. If 80% active their toggles away they go. :iamafag:

The little explosion in the background as the passenger cabin gently touches down confirms that, yes, the captain is going down with the bird.

If it's so easy then why dont they just put a parachute on the fucken plane? Do the pilots really need to die in this scenario?

To be fair, a cabin without fuel, engines, luggage etc is a whole deal lighter than a whole plane, and who's to say the pilots can't get into the cabin given enough time or use their own parachutes?

No that's why that one has retro rockets DUH (Seriously though, I'm not defending his design in any way. I was just pointing out that airplane parachutes are not as outlandish as some think.)

Seems to me like either of those designs would add an enormous amount of weight to the fuselage of the aircraft.

IIRC the original idea was to improve airport logistics by separating airframe maintenance from passenger handling, the emergency features must have been designed (badly) around that.

Two teen boys in rural Tennessee died this past week after allegedly drinking a cocktail of Mountain Dew and racing fuel known as 'DewShine'. Logan Stephenson, a 16-year-old student at Greenbriar High School, was found dead in his bed the morning of January 21. Just minutes later, paramedics were called to Stephenson's best friend J.D. Byram's house, when the boy started having seizures. 'They noticed the color of his skin had changed and he started having a seizure. His hands started drawing up,' Greenbrier Police Chief K.D. Smith told WZTV. Byram, a student at the same high school, died Monday night at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...l#ixzz3yf1Mcy6Y

I thought that was an entirely separate patent filed by an actual airplane manufacturer, and the idea was maintenance as you said but also to improve turnaround times at airports by just having all passenger boarding being done before the plane even lands, the module in the airport terminal is swapped with the one on the plane while it refuels, and then the plane leaves as the previous passengers disembark. And it didn't involve ejecting the passengers at all. Icedude fucked around with this message at 21:34 on Jan 29, 2016 |
