haveblue posted:IIRC the original idea was to improve airport logistics by separating airframe maintenance from passenger handling, the emergency features must have been designed (badly) around that. I thought that was an entirely separate patent filed by an actual airplane manufacturer, and the idea was maintenance as you said but also to improve turnaround times at airports by just having all passenger boarding being done before the plane even lands, the module in the airport terminal is swapped with the one on the plane while it refuels, and then the plane leaves as the previous passengers disembark. And it didn't involve ejecting the passengers at all. Icedude fucked around with this message at 21:34 on Jan 29, 2016 |

Improbable Lobster posted:I thought it was just some bullshit a design student thought up Oh yeah, that video is definitely unrelated except for the general idea. I was talking about this: http://www.wired.com/2015/11/airbus-patents-detachable-cabins-to-cut-plane-boarding-times/ Then again, I get the feeling they saw this and said "but what if it ejected and had parachutes?"
