In some aviation crushes, the plane returns to the airport but fails to land safely due to fires. What do you think of building huge pools near airports equipped with giant pumps connected to underground tanks filled with water controlled by the airport administration. The ponds are filled with water at a depth of 3 meters in a short period. that. This may help to extinguish the fire, reduce the collision impact and then save some passengers.
Controlled "crash" into a pool of water does not sound like a good idea - this may cause more problems than it solves. Moreover, the post-crash fire is fueled in part by flammable liquids that would burn on the surface of the water. Not to mention you add drowning to the possible outcomes for survivors.
thank you very much David Carl,I agree.But ideas start in its simple figure then modified and improved. Actually,I found that some effects may be reduced if the velocity of plain is reduced when impacting the ground.others when reducing fires.also some planes falling in the sea,then some of the survivors may drown.
pond of water may reduce impact effect when plane hits the ground,depth of water is shallow but burning water surface is the serious problem.
I like the idea that you present here. I wonder if there could be another approach to this. Rather than looking at using regular water. Looking at landing into AFFF (Aqueous film forming foam) which could quench the fire without the fear of the passengers being exposed to a level of water where one could drown. Instead the fires would be suppressed and the crew and passengers would thus have more time to escape the aircraft.
Good idea ,Dr. Daniel Brooks .Ideas may be improved to be good solutions
No Dr. here.. Just a college Senior here working on his Capstone in Aeronautics towards my bachelors degree. I do believe that there can be other improved ideas that can be expounded upon and great solutions found.
