@carlyjohnson123 The second reason is how will the parachutes deploy in a body of aluminium and carbon fibre? Create the fuselage so that it can self destruct? Not feasible.
@carlyjohnson123 I’ve spent 2 minutes reading this comment section and clearly people aren’t educated enough. The reason you cannot have parachutes is because of weight. A 777 carries 300 people. Thats 300 parachutes.
0 fuel economy. It’s easier to design the plane so that it doesn’t fail.
