Air safety systems | |||||||||||||||||
This safety system for airplanes is based on parachutes fixed on each seats (or pair of seats), so that in case of emergency, when plain is falling down, bottom side of plane had as many door as the number of seats, and bellow each seats part. Doors are is opening in sequence, one by one. Since the passengers are fastened on seats, maximum four f.inst. when accident happen, parachutes are open itself automatically when they reach some height preset. They will be set up in that way so that no other parachute will open itself at the same height, to avoid collision. I can bet that everyone will choose to have such experience rather than death, to land down safely on this way. This solution is expensive, planes could not carry as many numbers of passengers as they doing now, but it will be safest solution against death tool during plane crash.Passengers will not suffer too much during parachuting, since they are not alone in their seats, and when accident happen, pilot will try to lower plane flight height as much as possible.Passengers position related to parachute ropes axis, will be in some small angle, so they will not hit the ground with their head.Each seats pair can have life saving accessories, at the back side of seats,communication or location device etc.

The general reaction time is hardly a few seconds to a few minutesduring an air-crash. The electrical systems and the hydrauclics areclosely related. A failed electrical system implies a failedhydrauclic system. Even if a person is thrown out at 30,000ftwith the chutes on he will not make it alive. All air passengers will have to wear pressurised suits. In case of a explosion people will hardly have any time to use these gizmos.
If safety is your prime concern, passengers could travel in small individual pressurized capsules with a parachute attached. That would eliminate several expenses such as passenger attendants and food and other "luxuries" that the airlines are determined to get rid of anyway. The capsules could have explosive propulsion to get out of the aircraft in the manner of fighter pilots and to eliminate complaints of leg room and claustrophobia the passengers could be totally sedated for the trip which could eliminate toilet facilities. And, of course this would make a terrorist takeover an impossibility. The passenger could be handled more or less as cargo and stacked for economy. As an added attraction the aircraft could drop passengers over selected destinations without having to make landings at more than the final destination, thus producing great fuel economy. If the individual chute fails to open a small powerful rocket assist could bury the capsule on hitting the ground and a small lightweight but durable headstone could automatically be extruded at the crater.The only problem is expense and extra weight.
Good comments.Thanks
Most plane crashes occur during or close to take-off or landing. There wouldn't be enough time or altitude for parachutes to work.
If the doors are at the bottom, does that mean that the pilot must make the plane go up-side-down before activating this? Because they will not just fall down, since the passengers are falling with the plane (imagine the elevator fall). May need to work on the exit part because the passengers' head can hit the frame of the doors when coming out. Might need ejecting machanism for this.
