I have watched many TV programmes about passenger planes crashing and
breaking up and being ingulfed in smoke and fire and many people dieing and how the owners try to make planes safer which looked liked hopeless inadequate attempts they were suggesting and people would still die the way planes are still built and i was wondering why passenger planes and the fuel tanks are not made of composite plastic? I have experimented with plastic and found the corkscrew part of coke bottles very strong and cheap plastic,i had the idea that just like moulds are made to make the coke bottles,giant moulds could be made to mass produce airplanes made of this strong plastic,if the plane crashed it would not disintegrate or catch fire and if it crashed at sea it would float and could be towed back to land by a ship. http://www.scaled.com I came across this composite plastic website who make small plastic planes and who made the composite plastic space shuttles for Richard Branson. Stellios of easyjet should be interested in this idea aswell? |
