The Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane has a configuration where it can carry passengers which basically consists of it docking a big passenger module dealio like that plane.



Edit: that's just a pic for people who aren't familiar with the Skycrane it doesn't show the passenger dealio.

I've got a weird feeling that their system to attach ~most of the plane to a light chassis would cause a lot more accidents and problems than their idea would prevent.

If I remember right, the cabin was supposed to be attached with explosive bolts :laffo:

There was a military variant operated by the US Army named the CH-54 Tarhe. Here's one carrying a pair of Hueys (Heliception):



Also here's the passenger variant I was remembering, guess it was only tried out by the military:

It's not even like you can save a significant portion of the plane this way either, what are you gonna reuse those escape pods?

This post is like the Onion train reporter video.

"... is the plane okay? Can they reuse part of it?"

You can just buy milk crates on Amazon. They aren't secret alien technology or anything. You just aren't supposed to steal them from the dairy.

Wanna try this right now. There's gotta some strategy to optimize for. Bit of ankle and knee flex to get the weight on on the middle of your foot and place each step in the middle of the crate.

This is exactly why this would be a great show.

Idiots falling in hilarious ways and the rest of us theory-crafting optimal strategies at home.

Also, the production cost is like $9.
