مهندسون يبتكرون فكرة طائرة مقاومة للتحطم

It is no longer sufficient that flying is considered safer than most modes of transportation; because young engineers aspire to develop an aircraft that does not rely on statistics for survival. Their project, named REBIRTH, aims to transform the airplane into a "protective capsule" resembling the shape of a Michelin man just before impact, according to the "Vice" website.

Intelligent System

Engineers Eshil Waseem and Darshan Srinivasan from the Birla Institute of Technology and Science in Dubai have developed a system based on artificial intelligence to monitor everything from altitude and engine status to pilot response. If accidents become unavoidable below 3,000 feet, airbags will deploy from all directions within two seconds, and the body of the aircraft will inflate to become like a massive airbag in the sky.

Advanced Protection

Reverse or gas thrusters are activated to reduce the rate of descent, while shock-absorbing fluids inside the cabin solidify to protect passengers from injuries.

Human Incentive

The idea came after the tragedy of Air India Flight 171 crashing in Ahmedabad, where 241 people lost their lives. Srinivasan stated that the horrifying image inside the cabin remained etched in his mother's mind, prompting them to search for a real survival system after the failure.

Future Plans

So far, REBIRTH exists only on paper and as concept models, with the possibility of installing airbags on existing aircraft or integrating them into new planes. The engineers plan to collaborate with aviation laboratories to test the system and hope that the project will help save lives in the future without seeking profit or fame.
