Hello everyone:
I always thought that there could be a way to save all the lives of people on aircraft before the accident takes place. Now an inventor has unveiled his concept of such an aircraft. I must say it's very ingenious and it's one of those moments when you say: " Why didn't I think of that?"

Detachable Plane Cabin Could Save Lives In An Air Crash
January 18, 2016
An inventor has unveiled designs for a detachable aircraft cabin that he believes could save lives in a plane crash.
The idea is that the cabin detaches from the rest of the plane and and then lands safely on ground or water with the aid of attached parachutes and boosters.
Inflatable tubes help the cabin to stay afloat if a it lands on water.

Aviation engineer Vladimir Tatarenko has reportedly been working on the project for three years and believes that his invention could be a life-saver.
A somewhat alarmist video explains that his design would increase the weight of the aircraft slightly “but you will fly without fear for yourself or your family!”.

This isn’t the first time that a detachable plane cabin has been suggested, with Airbus already filing patents for a similar design.
Tatarenko has previously unveiled an alternative system using an escape capsule released through a hatch at the back of the plane.
