Why There Are No Parachutes on Passenger Planes
Hey guys! Do you know that there are special, super-big parachutes... for airplanes? But even an airplane can have a parachute of its own, why don't they supply each passenger on the flight with a personal parachute?! Wouldn't it save hundreds of lives should a crash happen?
Apparently, the answer is "no, it wouldn't." But every commercial airliner has a life-jacket under each seat, so why not shove a little parachute in there as well? Now now, have some patience, because to answer this question, we'll have to talk about some parachuting basics.

SUMMARY:
- Only specially-trained and equipped skydivers jump from altitudes higher than 15,000 ft. Otherwise you risk a lack of oxygen which can lead to confusion at critical times.
- A typical sport parachute and harness weighs about 15 pounds and doesn't come cheap! All the equipment a skydiver needs to own can cost from $6,000 to $9,000!
- Obviously, it's impossible to fit a 4-hour skydiving course in a 10-minute-long pre-flight instruction.
- Experts claim that most people wouldn't even get as far as to get ahold of their chutes.
- On board a commercial airplane that’s going down, there would be about 200 panicking people. Do you think they would patiently wait for their turn to exit the plane?
- If each of 200 passengers on board had a 15-pound parachute of their own, it would add more than 3,000 extra pounds to the flight's weight.
- Moving along, using a parachute to save your life only makes sense if your plane goes down mid-flight.
- The plane would be moving too fast for the passengers to leave it without smacking the side of the aircraft.
- So far, the largest plane equipped with a parachute can carry 5 people at the most.
- Apparently, a parachute can save a small plane that fits several people, but experts aren't so sure about big commercial aircraft.
- For a large plane, it would have to be not one parachute, but a system of chutes.
- The idea of a detachable cabin was first suggested by Gleb Kotelnikov, a Russian inventor, in the 1920s.
- This more than 9-decade-old plan is our best hope to ever equip airplanes with parachutes. Not any time soon, but one day - definitely.

Having piloted (many) times an aircraft with a brs parachute system, I can tell you that it does provide a decent chance for survival PROVIDED you aren’t in the take-off or landing phase of flight. Unfortunately, I knew a pilot who was practicing take-offs and landings one afternoon and (sadly) they had neither the time nor the altitude to activate the parachute. That said, I wouldn’t hesitate to fly any plane with a brs installed. My wife, in fact, insists on it.

I also once read about a suggested system where not the passengers, but their seats would be equipped with such systems. So in an emergency, a hood would flap over their head for O2 supply and their seat belts would strap them automatically, then the back of the plane would open and all the passengers would slide down the rails where the seats are attached to, one after the other, pretty much mass-dumping them in just a few seconds out of the plane, where then the seats would wait until they are at the perfect deploying height.

Not only would parachutes make flight more expensive(and therefore less accessible), but the number of people who die in plane crashes per year is minuscule compared to the number of people who fly or even compared to the number of plane crashes that actually happen. Pilots are trained to do everything in their power to save the plane and its passengers, and they succeed the vast majority of the time. In the rare case that they don’t, it’d be way too late to organize everyone to parachute off of the plane.

Even military cargo aircraft only carry enough parachutes for the flight crew, only to be used if the plane is shot down in combat. No additional chutes are carried for passengers. For commercial airlines, assuming all the passengers were trained in parachuting, most airline crashes occur in take off or landing, where parachutes are worthless. Once in flight, if the aircraft has a catastrophic failure, you won't have time to bail out. If the aircraft is flyable enough to stay airborne, there is no need to bail out.
There are parachutes with rockets. 1, 2, 3, liftoff!
The pressure on the airplane door would be so strong up there and so it’s hard to open an airplane’s door at a high altitude,thats also another reason.

Man people are freaking out over not having a parachute when it's an absolutely terrible idea. Plane crashes are so extremely rare.
I have asked this same question for many years so thanks so much for your insight. Sending much unconditional love and gratitude! I always thought a plane should be able to land in water and also have wheels which would make more sense when accidents occur. Also if the positive military provided the airplane with survival extensive medical kits and various medical tools that could that could help survivors that could occur in many type of scenarios and food for 2 weeks for everyone that bought a ticket on that airplane including crew and also a very well trained nurse/doctor! Also involving the medical profession with the above mentioned. So whether you land in snow, ice, water, land, jungle, etc. People would have everything they needed to help others and maybe themselves in times of trouble and difficulty. And perhaps like a huge bubblenose or huge airbag at the nose of the airplane for crashing and a way to put out engine fires and have a special energency engine like a backup generator that could override and take over if these things occur and help in the loss of power and engines. And a training program everyone can take in order to know how to operate what is provided in case of emergency before their flight and learn how to operate various things. Or what about Plasma Light ships! But those of the Light know more about what I know for the future. So you have that choice landing on water or land! There is alot of opportunities to make it much better for everyone and start with space between seats. How about bringing all proffesions together in this technology with their ideas! That way everything is covered! Then it is not one person's ideas and a whole array of ideas for the people by the People! Not corporations! And know common law and Univeral Law. Maps and compasses and flashlights, and a protected book on Travel destinations and all about the areas around with important information one will need to know for understanding and knowledge, etc... provided. Or bypass it and rise even higher in thoughts! 👏😲🤓🤔😃🌞🌝🌟❤💖💛💚💙💜

@@JekylViovicente - Experience is largely irrelevant. It's paradoxical on an airliner in that the failure modes that are stable platforms for 100s of jumpers likely don't justify vacating the aircraft in the first place. And the failure modes that do justify jumping are likely not suitable situations for anyone to jump. And I'm not sure what you propose we do with the disabled, elderly and children. This is without getting into the nuances of parachuting from airliners on the best of days. As a bit of irony, a typical sport parachute and aircraft wings are functionally the exact same thing anyways - Airfoils. Which is why aircraft do not fall like rocks in the event of complete engine failure. If the aircraft is structurally sound and there is directional control you're typically better off staying in the aircraft.

I know there are people with more experience skydiving, but I have 48 jumps and I was opening my parachute at 4500 feet. And that only allowed a few minutes to locate your landing site and align. Beginners open at 5500. I opened at 3800 on accident once and I was uncomfortable. 2000 feet is way to low unless you are experienced. Jumps at 3500 feet are called “hop and pops”. On this kind of jump you are trying to get yourself steady and open your chute in 3 seconds to 8 seconds max.
Why not just make the plan seat a parachute itself, that way you can detach it when needed 🙄

Hmm it'll be cool if they could add the huge plane parachute to commercial planes, that sounds safe EDIT: Nevermind it's already mentioned

Agreed with that idea! Hope it executed by manufacturer!!!!
I asked mom this question back in 1989. Its hilarious how much alike we all are.
Chances of surving by just staying in the plane - 0% Chances of surving by parachute - 1% Chances of bracing for impact -100
Even though parachutes could save someone's life

Prob not in a crash situation
Some planes use parachutes to slow down when landing
I can see in the future the actual seats been eject seats and when in sky diving it transforms into an eject seat.
thank's you answered the question that i ask myself every times i go on a plane

Really?? What knowledge do u have?? I am aeronautical engineer!! Whatever he said is true!! Not only that there are many reasons a plane cant afford!!! A plane shouldnt be heavy than the max amount it can have!! A plane can be so heavy while taking off!! But not while landing!! Ever heard of fuel dumping?? If they provide a chute or packup the whole plane!! Its still wont stop the plane from crashing!! Bcauz of its landing weight!! So of they have chute everytime they got dump thousands of pounds fuel!! In air!! And u knw no plane carries exact amount of fuel!! They always carry extra just to save u from climatical crasg

A chance to live or no chance to live is the question
"Parachute" ? No ! "Fall suit" ? Yes ! **** -- Special "pressure" & temperature" suits, are availale. (quick access) (even comes with O2 reserves) -- When reach "safe parachute zone": suit can be discarded; and parachute can be employed. *********** btw: Safe "return modules" are available. Can even enable to "catch" any "survivors" !
Its about money. Parachutes are expensive. Some percentage of people do know how to use parachutes, so you would be saving some. Even if you simply put it on and pulling the chute that slows your terminal velocity which greatly increases your odds of survival. Creating a chute that deploys at a certain altitude as your falling can't be that diddicult. Also crash survivors often get huge settlements.
Even if it saves one person, it's enough to go for it. And im pretty sure it would be more!!!

@@RoyalMela same with the life vests when u land on water, but they still warn you about this in the safety instructions presented by the flight attendants.
Its expensive! Thats why! You dont have to watch a 10 minute video for just one simple answer!
theres another idea they didnt mention - have an ejector system & parachute for each row of seats like they do on fighter aircraft - the parachute can be stored inside the seat in place of the seat stuffing material - that idea is much easier to implement than trying to save the whole fuselage in one piece - IIRC there was a women that survived a plane crash simply because the seat she was strapped into cushioned her fall into a jungle
My first guess was: "parachutes are freaking Heavy". Finally I saw my answer in the video
When I was a kid I thought that the lifejackets were parachute

As a skydiver I can assure you that's a terrible idea
Using parachute require certain skills. In most condition passenger are safer in airplane, pilot already trained for emergency landing.
The panic thing isn't an argument to make your case better. I mean, if people WOULD have a parachute, most people would be a lot more calm than when they know there's no way of surviving what's going on.
There are already concepts of a cabin that detaches from to plane with parachutes and air cushions, what are people waiting for?

A parachute for slowing down after landing seems like a good idea. The space shuttle used one and lots of accidents are runway overruns.

A First Class seat would be worth the fare, if it were an ejection seat.
If a plane is struck by lightning at 35,000ft and starts to go down. The time for you to be strapped and ready to jump, the plane will be around 25,000ft. Lack of oxygen symptomes take a moment to appear and it will only take 55s to get from 25,000ft to 15,000 ft. You can bear the temperature and low oxygen for that time. Worst case scenario, all parachutes are equipped with AAD, so even if you are passed out or untrained your parachute will deploy at a given altitude. It is an expensive solution but would save lives for the 10% of the time the crash actually happens at high altitude.

Chances of surving by just staying in the plane - 99% Chances of surving by parachute - 900000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000% I'll go with the parachute‼️
The solution for large planes is to use drogue parachutes to slow the plane down and then to deploy several larger chutes to bring the plane down safely. The big issue is how to safely bring the planes horizontal speed down to nearly zero without killing everyone on board or without ripping the plane in half, and to be able to do so quickly so that the plane doesn’t just fall out of the air.

Pilots. The only people who can land a plane even if there is a problem with a plane.
All of these problems and humanity still wants to pursue flying cars. Humans are weird beings.
All things considered, but they also can use the ejection seat that the army planes have "just pull a lever and your in the air with your seat accompanied by a parachute soon enough opening automatically."

Not an ideal design for a large plane. Plus, there are many problems when it comes to ejecting. That's why ejecting the last thing you want to do
@RoyalMela

You then must also have a roof that allows people to be ejected. And those seats work by using explosives. Most people could not survive the ejection, or the sudden airflow at 800km/h speeds, or the lack of oxygen.

*Honestly* *If the plane was going down. I think I'd have more of a chance with a parachute*
if the crash is stable enough for the passengers to parachute out, it is stable enough to land the plane.
The tenacious mindset of the commenters in this video in regards to equiping parachutes to passengers is just unnerving. BS has CLEARLY listed and explained why parachutes are totally NOT a great idea for aviation passengers. *SMH*
What about the guy who used a homemade parachute
