because it would snap right here
Samuel Jackson
What would be the purpose?
Cooper Collins
To save the passengers in the case that the plane is going down and reduce deaths. They could put a huge parachute (or 5) on the cabin so it could touch down softly.
Justin Barnes
>plane going down
Maybe on a shitty African/Iranian airline
Lucas Torres
why wouldnt the part left of the red line break off too?
Gavin Nelson
Why would you care, as long as the passenger section gets ejected properly.
Better yet, why not make the gas tanks eject or quickly drain and add several huge parachutes to the whole plane?
Kayden Torres
the money would be better spent on preventing an engine failure in the first place
Aiden Adams
the portion that's left needs to be able to fly dumdum. you can't just overlook aerodynamics
and I think the fuel is typically kept in the wings that the engines are attached to. you can't just detach the wings
Landon Clark
Why not just attach the parachute to the wing box? - it's even designed to take huge loads.
If it needs to lose weight it could drop the engines (explosive bolts?) and the fuel.
Jackson Rivera
The more I try to wrap my head around this idea the more retarded it becomes. This will never be implemented in the real world
Jacob Sanders
Actually why not just embed parachutes at strategic places all over the plane?
Connor Green
>parachutes at strategic places all over the plane
This.
specifically: under every business class seat.
Angel Price
Because the additional weight and complexity of such parachutes will lead to increased fuel consumption which leads to increased pollution and greenhouse gas emissions which leads to more deaths on a global scale than the parachutes would save.
Noah Hughes
do you know how rare airplane crashes are nigger?
Ian Moore
>airplanes are one of the safest ways to move (only elevators are safer)
hovercrafts are also safer.
Bentley Young
imagine the cost to put huge parachutes on every commercial airliner. You would actually need new and more expensive aircraft since mods on current airplanes would be impossible. The new aircraft would be much more expensive, less efficient (because it's heavier) and possibly even less safe since the current design is the result of several years of improvements. Now remember airplanes are one of the safest ways to move (only elevators are safer), that means the current design works, and improving it is probably the closest way to "perfection". Starting all over again with detachable modules and parachutes is not worth it.
Owen Harris
No economically viable metal can carry that weight with that little support
Noah Reed
My first thought was bombing the civilians WITH civilians. That way it's not an obvious war crime
Ryder Murphy
>the portion that's left needs to be able to fly dumdum.
But why? Getting people onto the ground safer then a crash now would is just as good, if not as profitable. You could still have basic steering of the dropping wreckage when it's parachuting down.
>and I think the fuel is typically kept in the wings that the engines are attached to. you can't just detach the wings
Of course, not because it wouldn't be possible, but because you would have two large bombs dropping down without control. Ejecting it from the tanks would be safer.
Christian Harris
So would the whole mechanism of dropping the passenger section and having parachutes on it also.
So if we look at it like that, it's a moot point in every way. Let's just die when we can't safely crash land.
Connor Morris
why not have a bigger aircraft carry the smaller aircraft with the passengers inside and if the main aircraft starts crashing you can eject the aircraft with passengers and have it fly away
Ayden Moore
The entire idea is retarded
Brandon Diaz
That plane would crash with no survivors.
Cooper Williams
Parachutes add weight that does not generate revenue.
Joseph Bennett
It would work but it's not worth the price to make it since airplanes crashing/having problems mid-air is pretty rare
Caleb Campbell
Oh hi.
Tyler Wilson
In case a terrorist sets off a bomb in the passenger compartment, the pilot could jettison the passenger compartment, and safely land with the flight crew and a few passengers who offered the highest bids for limited cockpit seating.
Christian Adams
There's planes with complete full sized bathrooms, including shower, and 'presidential' suites, so not an argument.
Gavin Thompson
i thought this was about going to mars or something. very disappointing OP
Luke Jones
Or just have a typical "one piece" airplane with slightly larger parachutes.
Dylan Howard
I like the way you think and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Easton Ross
If you look into what causes airplane crashes from the perspective of large airplane crashes that have actually happened, they normally happen when the pilot fucks upon landing or taking off or runs into another airplane or something like that, normally the wings don’t just mess up midflight when you Could eject the fuselage high above ground
Obviously would not help in the case of 911 or mh370 or the Canary Islands disaster or pan am 103 etc....
Not only are large airplane crashes rare, large airplane crashes were you could just parachute away the fuselage are one in 1 million
Landon Myers
Pretty sure these things have an R&D of billions of dollars for a reason, some NEET on Jow Forums isn't going to come up with something they haven't considered and accounted for.
Lucas Wood
Fuel efficiency of commerical airliners matters more than the minute amount of private jet traffic
Aaron Ortiz
Virtually all 100% casualty crashes happen during landing or take-off, unpowered landings have a pretty good survival rate these days and the survivability only increases with altitude as there's more time to divert to a proper airfield and more time for an engine restart. Fighter aircraft style zero-zero ejection would arguably save lives but at a ridiculous expense.
Jose Bell
Retard
Chase Taylor
This is what we need
Jason Sullivan
retard
Daniel Butler
Only marginally but the the airtraffic is far from the biggest problems for the problem of greenhouse gasses and environment. So it's worth it imo
Xavier Morales
>helicopter used for lifting is the same as an airliner moving at mach 0.8
When are you getting your GED?
Hudson Jenkins
Was that part of your plan?
Anthony Robinson
just attach 5 parachutes to plane without the ejecting fuckery, that way nobody, no need for pilots to die
Adrian Young
>not a single person has mentioned anything about crashing this plane with no survivors
Nathan Carter
...
William Barnes
honestly best point, OP's just afraid of flying. there were zero commercial airplane deaths in 2017
Liam Rodriguez
my bad, the fire rises brother
Asher Jenkins
>2012 was 6 years ago
Tyler Davis
most plane crashes happen on takeoff and landing, altitudes too low for parachutes to deploy
Kevin Jones
Ohhhh, so that's why they call them the corps...
Colton Thompson
:^)
Hudson Harris
Sorry what's the point of this? In case the cockpit catches fire? In case the co-pilot wants to commit suicide?
Brody Butler
why wouldn't it work?
Luis Ortiz
he too fat to fly
Lucas Allen
>be Virgil
>brothers smash puss all day
>literally only call you to bring in TB4 or drop off some heavy shit
>told to fuck off immediately after
>never get the puss
Evan Diaz
This jet does have a parachute for mid-air accidents, although it's small enough for such a feature to actually work. But to do something similar with a commercial airliner? Probably not worth it.
