Russian aviation engineer Vladimir Tatarenko has developed the concept of a detachable cabin for aircraft that could save lives in a crash.
After spending three years on the project, Tatarenko recently released a video, showcasing how the technology works during an emergency situation.

The prototype of the new cabin concept has a detachable cabin, which can be ejected at any time during takeoff, mid-air or landing and facilitate a safe landing for passengers.
The cabin is tied up with parachutes, which will open automatically when the lower capsule gets detached from the aircraft and passengers can safely land on water or on the ground.
The new concept also includes storage space for holding baggage under the cabin, which helps passengers to keep their personal belongings safe during an emergency.
Tatarenko was quoted by LiveLeak saying: "Surviving a plane crash is possible.

By GlobalData"While aircraft engineers all over the world are trying to make planes safer, they can do nothing about the human factor.
"The existing technology of using Kevlar and carbon composites for fuselage, wings, flaps, spoilers, ailerons and tail will be used during the design.
"It allows to partly compensate the weight of the parachute system."
Tatarenko has not mentioned the cost involved in the production of the aircraft with a detachable cabin.
The concept of building a detachable cabin is not new to the aviation industry.
Airbus filed its own patent for a similar idea in February 2013, and received approval in November. In its patent, Airbus proposed to build a detachable cabin that would allow passengers to board at the boarding gate. The cabin would be attached to the plane before takeoff.
