L’aereo super-sicuro con la fusoliera che si stacca. Un ingegnere aeronautico ucraino, Vladimir Tatarenko, sembra aver avuto un0'idea rivoluzionaria per salvare i passeggeri di un aereo in avaria. E non importa qual è la dimensione dell’aereo o se l'incidente avviene in fase di decollo, crociera o atterraggio. L'idea di Tatarenko è semplice: l’aeromobile è costituito da uno scheletro al quale viene agganciato la cabina con i passeggeri. In caso di avaria l’intera cabina viene sganciata e alcuni paracadute entrano in azione permettendo l’atterraggio o l’ammaraggio dolce. La sezione interna dell'aereo. Nel momento dell’arrivo a terra o in mare, entrerebbero in azione dei palloni gonfiabili tali da addolcire ancor più l’impatto. L’ingegnere pensa che realizzando l’aereo in materiali leggeri, seppur resistenti, si potrebbe guadagnare sul peso dell’aereo a favore dei paracadute.

L'atterraggio avviene in modo morbido anche grazie all'uso di air bag | RatzWall/Youtube È la soluzione ideale?
