Wow! Just think about it, a Airbus 380 is flying somewhere in the world with 680 passengers and a problem develops that the crew determines that in the interest of their passengers, they must be ejected from the aircraft! Airbus is proposing a "detachable" cabin, which can be ejected from the main body of the aircraft and parachuted safely to mother earth! They didn't address what happens if that should occur over water!
It will have a inflatable "cushion" on the bottom of the cabin area, to safely cushion the impact with good ole earth!
Am I dreaming or is this a serious proposal by one of the largest aircraft manufactory in the world? I would guess the good ole FAA would have to have a demonstration of said application to an existing aircraft! Holy cow, Batman, can you even think about the AD's on this thing over the first 10 years of service! I must be dreaming, ole well!
