Cirrus CAPS deployment in Massachusetts saves two lives
A Cirrus SR22 lost its engine on approach to Bedford-Hanscom Field (KBED) and deployed its CAPS parachute. Both occupants walked away unharmed. (www.wcvb.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
She male he male...at this point what difference does it make? The pilot did the right thing!
Wonder how many chutes would let a 777 down safely?? Just saying!
quite a few small ones or 1 great big one, but, as below, who would pay for it.LOL. It sure ain't on no airline priority.
The approximate touch-down point is here:

It's a little over 2nm from the airport, near 4th Avenue. I work in the area. I'm certainly interested in hearing about the details when they come out.

Would something like this be possible on a large jetliner?
It would sure take a sooper size parachute, as big if not bigger than that one the military has. 2nd thing would be the cost. Who would pay for it even if it could be developed/deployed?
It would be similar to those massive inflatable chutes that may or may never be used, what do they cost?
Probably a bunch
