This Airplane Parachute Could Save Many Lives

Many people have panic, fear and dread of travel by plane. The idea of ​​a accident in mid-flight it leaves anyone with goosebumps and the chances of escaping alive from disasters of this magnitude are generally very low. But before leaving canceling all the flights If you've already purchased, know that the statistics are in your favor: commercial planes are safer than cars and other modes of transport.

Trying to prove that the big manufacturers of aircraft have not yet thought of more efficient ways to protect passengers during flights, the Ukrainian engineer Vladimir Tatarenko created a safety system that aims to save an entire cabin from an imminent accident. The idea is in an escape pod, which detaches from the aircraft and lands with the help of a set of parachutes.

It is worth mentioning that the idea is not entirely new. Small aircraft and experimental aircraft have similar parachute activation systems in the event of a breakdown, as is the case with the kit "Second Chantz", manufactured by the homonymous company since 1981. Not even the idea of ​​an escape pod is strange to the market, as the same engineer had already proposed something similar in the past. But its application in large aircraft can even inspire companies like Boeing, Airbus is Brazilian Embraer. See in this video how it works:

“Surviving a plane crash is possible. While aircraft engineers all over the world are trying to make planes safer, they can't do anything about the human factor.”. said Vladimir.

Now, we can only hope that companies in the sector adopt similar concepts as soon as possible, right? And before you ask, the pilot and co-pilot can also enter the capsule.
