Two aircraft concepts go both on the principle of a removable cabin. Such an ejector seat’s full cabs must make flying safer. But whether it is going to work?
Last Friday, The Independent published a video of the Russian inventor Tatarenko Vladimir Nikolaevich. The last three years he has been busy with some kind of ejection seat, but for a complete cabin.
The cab shooting from the aircraft in an emergency and then by two giant parachutes neatly on the ground put. Land on the water is also possible. And you’re not even your belongings, because they are also stored in the removable cab.
Investment worth?
It seems to be quite an expensive joke, such emergency parachute for each aircraft. Especially since all flying is relatively safe. But according to the inventor, there is definitely market. He has himself asked people and 95 percent would be willing to pay extra for this kind of aircraft.
Airbus thinks about it
Aircraft manufacturer Airbus late last year patent applied for also a removable cabin. The idea is to load the cab first full of people, then in order to place it in an aircraft cabin of charge. Consider a container being hoisted onto a truck.
Whether these concepts are going to take a flight, is still very questionable. Anyway: Minds are like parachutes – They only function when open
