Aviation security remains a priority issue, although traveling by plane is cataloged as the safest means of transport according to various studies. However, the reality is that, In case of a plane crash, the possibilities of survival of the passengers are reduced. With this panorama, an innovation arises that could completely transform the way we understand aerial security: A removable cabin system patented by the Ukrainian engineer TATARENKO VLADIMIR NIKOLAEVICH.
A removable cabin system
This design raises a revolutionary solution to save lives in emergency situations. The idea consists of a cabin that, in case of serious failures during takeoff, landing or flight, can automatically separate from the rest of the plane. The system, completely automated, It does not require pilots intervention and would only be activated if the flight conditions become criticism. Once separated, The cabin would display two parachutes for a controlled decrease, in addition to having inflatable tubes in its lower part to facilitate a landing in the water if necessary.
The data of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) support the relevance of this idea. In the last ten years, 71% of air accidents occurred during the flight, 21% in landing and 8% during takeoffbeing the human errors responsible for the 75% of incidents. This design seeks to drastically reduce these figures and offer a safe alternative in scenarios that are currently fatal.
According to Nikolaevich”he 95% of plane users would be willing to pay tickets between a 15% and 20% more expensive in order to have a system that significantly improves your safety. ‘ However, this patent is still in development and raises technical doubts such as the destiny of emergencies or structural implications in the design of airplanes. Despite this, its creator is already in conversations with the main aircraft manufacturing companies to explore its implementation.
This innovative technique could mark a before and after in the history of aviation, approaching a scenario where air accidents, and their tragic consequences, could become a thing of the past.
