Why Detachable Plane Technology Could Be the Most Important Aviation Invention?
When a plane faces a catastrophic failure, survival chances for passengers are tragically slim. This is largely due to the fact that no parachutes are provided, regardless of whether you're flying in business or economy class. Since 1970, this unfortunate reality has claimed the lives of approximately 83,770 people in plane crashes. However, that grim statistic may soon be a thing of the past. A group of engineers is currently developing groundbreaking detachable airplane technology. In this new design, during an emergency, the pilot can activate a mechanism that separates the passenger cabin from the rest of the aircraft. Using two advanced parachutes, the cabin would then safely descend onto land or water, potentially saving every passenger onboard.
