zonie 0 #1 May 13, 2003 Notes on SKYHOOK 5 Concerned With Air Safety. Parachutes for Aircraft. All planes could be equipped with top loaded, flush mounted, ejectable parachutes. Under full control of the pilots and deployed only when a crash is imminent. One to five cargo chutes to be used depending on the size of the plane. http://www.dropzonepress.com/notes1.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They may still have the story on their website.Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quade 4 #7 May 13, 2003 I think if you read his web site, you'll see that while it's a good idea on the scale of a C-172 or thereabouts, he, uh, doesn't exactly have a clue about how it would work on something say, B-747 sized, yet, that's exactly what he's proposing. The guy doesn't understand the concept of scale. Check out this illustration from his web site. So, uh, yeah, what could go wrong with that?quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zonie 0 #11 May 13, 2003 QuoteCheck out this illustration from his web site. So, uh, yeah, what could go wrong with that? Too difficult for a hook turn? I think they should have a person under each parachute to steer the plane in for a landing. Any volunteers??? Maybe that cute stewardess that just got her A license...
