Abstract

An aircraft with a detachable cabin (1) that serves to rescue its passengers as a result of the aircraft's sudden fall either due to its malfunction or fire. The cabin escapes either smoothly or by means of fast ejection and descends slowly to the Earth with the aid of a parachute (13;
14); during a crash on the ground or in the sea external airbags (38a-38f) with which it is equipped and which are located in its lower part are inflated thus absorbing the loads that are developed during the crash. In addition a conventional aircraft (70) of the type being already in use is also described and in which the parachute equipment (71) has already been applied; however, the proposed equipment of the airbag boxes (72a-72c) is adapted to it for the absorption of the energy produced due to its crash on Earth in case of its sudden fall.
