Wouldn’t it be reassuring that if a plane crashes, you can actually survive the crash? Well, a Ukrainian aviation engineer by the name of Vladimir Tatarenko had been working for 3 years now on a design of a new kind of airplane. He actually found the innovation as he made a design of an aircraft that can detach its cabins. Not only the plane cabin can be detached, but it can also detach in as little as within few seconds of an emergency situation.
The cabin will be able to land both on ground and water surfaces. The cabin design comes with parachutes attached to the side of the aircraft along with rubber tubing on the lower region to keep the cabin afloat on water.
Vladimir Tatarenko told media, “Surviving in a plane crash is possible. While aviation engineers across the world are trying to make the plane safer, they can do very little about the human factor.”
Some people do argue about the structural integrity of the aircraft that a detachable cabin can actually compromise it.
The aviation engineer and the inventor Vladimir Tatarenko says, “Surviving in a plane crash is possible.”
Once the cabin is detached after an emergency situation, two gunpowder engines will slow down the descent of the cabin’s fall. At the same time, parachutes will deploy to float the cabin safely on to a ground or water surface.
Once landed on a surface, passengers can safely wait on the ground.
If the cabin lands on a water body, the inflatable tube on the lower side of the cabin will help keep it afloat until the help arrives.
As for the luggage of the passengers, the detachable cabin will also come with its own storage space.
The cabin will be able to detach and eject via a hatch located at the tail end of the aircraft.
People also question as to what will happen to the pilots who detach the cabin as they would be left behind. Some also have questioned the cost-effectiveness of such aircraft or the reason of why to care such a costly mechanism? A critic named Isadora Kali Anne Seney said, “Of the millions of flights a year, less than 500 people die worldwide in airplane crashes.”
However, the inventor himself conducted a questioner from the general public which revealed that people are actually willing to pay more for this safety assurance.
