Real Aircraft Loses Wing, Lands Safely (Under Canopy)

[MrRednijlad]

Such an amazing and simple solution god these need to be in all aircraft

[MILLERS066]

Wow. Trays amazing. Every plane should be equipped with that. Definitely would have been killed.

[Mykola40]

My name is Abramovich. I have this one in my Boeing.

[NZsquadron]

you would think 'fixed wing' would have 2 meanings

[Aviation2001]

A guy landed an F-15 with 1 wing.

[ArGames11]

USA COMPONENTS ......... -.-

[Spitzenhund]

@ArGames11 That plane was not made to withstand maneuvers like that more like a bad pilot not bad components

[ArGames11]

@Spitzenhund ok , sorry,, but this is important " he is a live :) "

[SoCalDualSport]

Can you pull the ripcord while you shit your pants or do you shit first, then pull?

[Uunster]

Hmm.... Someone didn't do preflight...

[thr33wisemonks]

Lucky the pilot had a poopchute!

[ThinkingManNeil]

Good vid. BRS deserves every kudo, award, and accolade that comes their way.

[RocketBird120]

I wonder how much weight a BRS system takes up on the typical small airplane. Seriously, it'd be nice to see equipment like this on more single-engine aircraft--old or new. Trainers especially. Force landings are nice in the event of an engine failure (eh, sort of), but losing an engine at night, clipping something like a bird, or having pieces of the aircraft fall off (i.e., wings) means that the pilot is screwed without equipment like this.

[leneanderthalien]

@RocketBird120

The weight from the BRS is 8 to 10kg (include fixings), 12kg for a 2 places ultralight 472kg class (the Chaos is registered as ultralight in Europe)

[Freeflyer91]

What size canopy is that? It brings the plane down very nicely.

[Seigu007]

WOW!

[Dexxxter7780]

So are they making enormous BRS's for full sized passanger plains?

[bc1560]

Wouldn't it be safer to just have a plane that's wings didn't just fall off???

[TheParsonsRS]

@bc1560 you clearly have no knowledge in aviation. No plane is made for its wind to fall off. Clearly he was pushing this aircraft to the limit, and stressed the airframe.

[antimattercrusader]

@countrytownman I'm not even going to say it.

[beardedswine]

he lost his freebag

[albedran2]

great system

[Reeseycup79]

It would be nice if they could attach large massive parachutes on passenger plans

[zimtower]

If a 747 had a BRS, where would the plane land without breaking up on impact? An airport? Even then, wouldn't a horizontal landing be safer than a vertical landing?

[GrimlyKK]

Superb stuff.

[Tjita1]

Okay, that's it. I'm definately having one on my potential future homebuilt aircraft.

[bkboy747]

recovery chute? naaawwwww, i'll take a fighter jet ejection seat ANY day

[FinallyAUniqueName]

@bkboy747

Personally I'd like to avoid the spinal injuries that often come with ejections... This chute looks a lot less impressive, but I'm sure it's a lot gentler on the pilot as well.

[Fucklesticks]

Incredible, just thinking he would've died without this... Shocking.

[truck501]

THIS IS AWESOME ........

[parkert51]

He was pushing that S-9 well beyond light aerobatic specs the plane was designed for.

[nancycucesharp]

Okay he is so crazy. I know if i did that I would be pooped after.(-=

[jwboll]

I can't imagine this pilot would have been able to jump out while spinning at this incredible rate, and use a personal parachute in time to not die.

Good job! BRS

videos like this are the best advertising you can get.

[freebird20002012]

faa, make t his mandatory in all GA planes!

[Aeronautapobre]

Very nice this airplane.



[Obzy666]

yay shes okay!

[iryan74656]

I hope there put this on all flight school Cessna soon:)

[joesmoe71]

Whatever that pilot paid for the system, it was worth it!

[sukerjumps]

someone know where can I buy this sistem?

I need it for a personal project...thanks

[BrunoDaKeeper]

WHY IS THIS NOT ON ALL PLANES????????????????

[IngMonkey]

@BrunoDaKeeper lol. did you ever see boeing 747 or airbus 330 ? how big the chute would have to be ? Besides, plane crashes usually don't happen due to lost wing and any BRS would not help you when something happens on landing...

[GitoAtom]

There is a correction to be made to this video. THe pilot is one of the Hangar del Cielo civilian acrobatic team and the aircraft is a RANS S10 SAKOTA not a S9 CHAOS. It differs especially because the S10 is a 2 seater. Please check you source and thanks for the video.

[Louisthefish23]

amazing piloting 

[tug82]

it is neither practical nor feasable to put a recovery chute on an airliner ,do u know how big the chute would have to be how much it would weigh .....think about it

[HOBBYWIRELESS]

I think it's always a good idea to have a ballistic chute...., you never know!

[ecktoeman]

Sadly another example of pilot error. You don't do unlimited high-g aerobatics in a sportsman class airplane.

Chute worked well though, technology makes a nice save of bad human decision-making!

[SenorSpode]

It's about time we saw a video where a plane breaks in flight and the pilot walks away anyway. This is what technology is supposed to do for us. The BRS Recovery Chute is by far one of the best innovations of the century.

[qazibrother]

WOWOOOOOOOOOO AWESOME . I LIKE B R S VARY MUCH HE SAVE PILOT LIFE HUNDRED%. ONE THING IS THAT ALLAH GOD SAVE HIS LIFE. KEEP SAFE FLYING...

[unapro3]

@qazibrother so what about the thousands of other pilots that have died over the years, Allah didn't like them???

[qazibrother]

@unapro3 we want Chang our mind.ALLAH know every thing.

[ozarkmac]

This is why I would never fly my Weedhopper without a BRS.

[LengendYih]

he damn lucky @@

[samson9757]

this is an amazing idea, but what would happen if the plane started burning while it was still going down?

It seems like this is a life saving device, but could also turn the plane into a burning coffin for the pilot/passengers.

Although I guess its between that or crashing and dying

[straighttailpilot]

@samson9757 i guess its a better chance than plummeting to the ground and dying for sure.

[holycrapifoundthem]

@fairhillnorrie They landed with a large chute in a capsule no larger than your bathroom and in a planned manner not a crash? I'm not sure how those mean that a jumbo jet parachute is a great plan. I wasn't questioning whether parachutes work

AF1 does not, in fact, have a parachute. It's safe because it's an established safe model that's worked over on an intense maintenance schedule.

Flying is 8 times safer per-mile than your fat ass driving to work, not sure what you're complaining about

[Wonkabar007]

Great life saving piece of equipment, respect is due.

[wd4jkh]

I guess Bill Hempel wasn't flying it.. :)

[mjkobb]

Well done, BRS!

[charliebad]

@josip33 hahahaha

[charliebad]

fake

[Blitz4000]

Imagine a jumbo jet on parachutes. LOL!

[BoyTheCute]

OMG THAT 1 REALLY HURTED ME!YAYX

[Ghostmooner]

Nice! now if they could only invent parachutes for airlines, it'd be a 'good' invention.

[collegeboy760]

lucky hes not dead

[bennv5909h]

no comment

[BoyTheCute]

@bennv5909h lol you said no comment but you leaved a comment

[Ethanerkul]

@BoyTheCute

lol you said ''leaved'' its called left.

[BoyTheCute]

@Ethanerkul xD!sry!^^'

[Ethanerkul]

@BoyTheCute

Its ok! :P

I'm surprised you replied with a posetive answer, most people wont do that.

Good job! :)

[BoyTheCute]

@Ethanerkul :) thanks!

[unapro3]

@Ethanerkul lol you said "posetive" its called positive.

[desertneedle1]

ITS THE RIGHT WING 

[EwBriii]

@desertneedle1

LOL!

[jwboll]

@desertneedle1 he tricked you... he was upside down!

[ArtStone]

I can't get excited about a pilot doing acrobatics using a kit built aircraft and being surprised that the wing falls off. Let's drive a Chevy into a brick wall and test the airbag to make sure it works

[unapro3]

@ArtStone the Pitts Special started out as a homebuilt and many are still built as homebuilts from plans. Many aerobatic aircraft on the airshow circuit are homebuilts. If you did some research you would discover that many homebuilts are made to a standard far superior to the average factory aircraft.

[0815tobey]

@fairhillnorrie

lol no, just watch my videos ;-)

[traffety]

Oh never mind.  lomcevacks! Crazy

[traffety]

What was that maneuver called again?

[diablitodude]

flash2:P A N I C

[raulrusboy]

Now if the army would put a system like this on the top of the rotor mast of our helicopters...

[holycrapifoundthem]

@fairhillnorrie Not many, unfortunately. The vast, vast majority of jumbo jet failures are due to catastrophic failure and are nearly always during takeoff and landing, times at which a parachute would not be effective.

Commercial airliners are built to be far, far more redundant than your average hobby plane. I can't offhand think of any major airliner disaster that would've been averted or helped by an onboard chute...and doubt one is even technically feasible for an aircraft of that size.

[unapro3]

@holycrapifoundthem where do you get your information? the majority of most airline crashes are pilot error or weather or a combination of both. I can list several airline incidents that would have been averted if there was a chute system, this is obviously academic as there is no such system.

[holycrapifoundthem]

@unapro3 Yes, my primary point was that it's neither feasible nor helpful to chute down a 747. And sure, name those incidents; I'd love to hear them. I don't know what pilot error has to do with this...of course that's the top cause...it does not mean you can deploy a chute, or that doing so would be helpful. My information comes from a lifetime in aviation and one of the heads of Rockwell Collins, who designs the majority (all at this point? Save the 777?) of your aircraft safety systems.

[unapro3]

@holycrapifoundthem he he, a lifetime in aviation? your only 29!! Iam an A&P/Pilot and have beeen in the aviation industry before you were born. I mentioned pilot error because you said the majority of 747 failures were catastrophic. The DC9 that lost all hydraulics, the DC9 that lost all elevator control, the DC10 that had a mid air and lost tailplane, 757 that went into spin, 747 that had rear press bulkhead failure, 707 mid air, 1900 aft C of G, 707 in flat spin, ther are heaps.

[holycrapifoundthem]

@unapro3 I think 30 years counts. I've been spoonfed aviation disaster stories since I was 4. If you're a pilot I'm surprised you think deploying a chute in a spin is a good idea. JAL 123 is about the one that I find convincing there. Anyhow I didn't mean to suggest that it would never help, but there certainly are not "heaps" where the airliner was stable enough to deploy a chute but lacked other, better options. It's hardly the "oh this is so obvious" solution earlier posters were assuming

[jizzmonger]

@unapro3 The new Cessna Skycatcher was twice saved by a ballistic chute although I think one time the Pilot had to jump as the chute was ineffective.

[Lakotahope]

@jizzmonger Yeah, on one of the saves from this parachute system, the plane was more damaged by being dragged along the ground after touchdown.

[JWSmythe]

Wow. That was a beautiful "landing". I'm sure the pilot preferred it to the other option, which would have been very messy. I've seen the kits available for small aircraft for years, but this is the first video I've seen of one being used in a real-world situation.

[EXTREMRAPIST]

god damn hater go to hell

[Sittingduck30]

Good save!

[CandygramMongo]

Creative use of the word "land"

[montyberrigan]

This is perfect example of the value of these recovery systems. It was nice to see that a U.S. Insurance company call Aggressive Aviation actually gives a credit to planes that are equipped with this kind of safety equipment.

[trikeboywonder]

That appears to me to be a piece of debris that came off the airplane when the BRS was deployed. Also, the BRS system is designed to rescue the plane with you still in it, secured to your seats with the restraint system in the plane. This is usually a whole lot safer than the pilot bailing out himself because the impact of the landing goes directly onto the planes under fuselage.

[JaSheen89]

Just saw it on sky news, its definitely real.

[BYMYSYD]

do a barrel roll

[dsomary]

those who know better correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears to me that the pilot ejects at 0:25, no? what's the red thing off to the left? a part of the fuselage or another chute? even with a BRS why would the pilot not eject anyway, which would be much safer than hitting the ground with a plane on top of you.

[AVweb]

@dsomary the "red thing" is part of the BRS system and is attached to the rocket that ensures rapid deployment of the 'chute. As stearman81n mentioned, the 'chute is normally attached to the airframe such that it would bring the plane down on its gear. In this case, it does appear that the lines were wrapped around the rear fuselage as the aircraft spun. He could have flown with his own 'chute, but at some point you must decide how much redundancy is enough.

[AVweb]

Look very closely as the aircraft descends under canopy and you can see Moline rapidly moving both the rudder and elevator back and forth. That may *pure speculation* indicate his attempt to free the lines, but there may be other reasons. Due to the speed of the roll, it's not clear that Moline would have been able to cleanly escape the aircraft. It can also take more time for non-ballistic 'chutes to open. A normal parachute might not have fully deployed before he hit the ground.

[TWCjon]

@dsomary i saw that!

[tgbrfv38]

@dsomary yes it does

[stearman81n]

I'm building the 2 place version of this airplane. The BRS harness is designed to break out around the canopy and suspend from 4 points to the lanyard or extension... providing a wheels-down descent. In this case, it appears that the lanyard wrapped around the tail during deployment. Luckily it was propelled clear of the aircraft during the violent spin.

...and for you gamers out there who insist this is faked somehow? You really should try the real world sometime, it'll blow your mind.

[gavin53uc]

Someone just made a lot of money putin a chute on a plane. Simple and very effective! obviously!!!

[MangaManifaction]

This is a true story, i've just heard it in the news

[greencard]

ABOUT FUCKING TIME SOMEONE DOES THIS TO A PLAIN...SMART

[tulaconalas]

@greencard

the emergency parachute it´s being on the market over 10 years

[mojorossi]

boeing n airbus shld install these on their planes.

[6V92TA]

and this is the CONTINUE word flashes on the screen with a count down from 15.

[sandberg420]

yalls narrator is gooood

[drum2survive]

HE CHEATED, HE USED A PARACHUUTE lol

[6V92TA]

@drum2survive lol!!!

[doisdjoai]

You can totally see the wires. Also around 0:55 the "missing" wing reappears for a couple of frames. And planes don't have parachutes and so this is totally fake.

[CatsAreGods]

@doisdjoai If I might ask, where do you buy your LSD?

[ls8xs]

@doisdjoai You should know that those guys are world famous with theyr airshow on Rans airplanes - which are all equipped with ballistic recovery systmes. Cesar, the teamleader himself also recovered from an accident in this way some years before.

surely - no fake!

[MrXaborus]

@doisdjoai

You cant photo shop a video dipshit.

For fucks sake im tired of all these adults acting like they know what there talking about. FUCKING ADMIT IT, YOUR FUCKING OLD SHIT.

Now stop making fucking fools of yourself and actually learn what the fuck photoshop is

[UnitedTulips]

this makes so much more sense than ejecting the pilots seat! the pilot and the plane is saved, and for a much cheaper price too I assume

[guambombboy]

@UnitedTulips But the parachutes only work well with light aircrafts and can not be used on faster or heavier planes, or else the parachute would tear apart.

[STICKYPOOSALAD]

they should have used this on 911

[ThinkerMister11]

so fake.

[wcc963]

@ThinkerMister11 FUCK YOU! its real, research the company and the event before posting shit like this... they have saved many live with this system

[cheapo911]

that was pretty cool i gota say 

[doisdjoai]

Fake. Totally photoshopped.

[shiluugei23]

@doisdjoai moron.

[ismasamov55]

@doisdjoai Your a total dipshit fuckhead. Jump off a fucking bridge asswipe

[ElCidCampeador8]

kinda makes ya wonder why it took 100 years of flight before anyone ever thought of commercializing parachutes for planes... hmmm duh!

[CatsAreGods]

@ElCidCampeador8 More like the technology wasn't safe enough or ready yet...you must realize, you're storing explosives on an aircraft...

[thegamelostit]

THIS PILOT WON THE GAME!

[ZerozPk]

Awesome system

[redhot916spd]

fabulous, I wish they all had chutes

[FlyHighRC386]

its great a 22 year old survived to live the rest of his life!!!!!!!11

[Andersoniub94]

This is the result of a great workout and a great pilot!

Note 10.

[FlyHighRC386]

@Andersoniub94 it does take a special pilot to pull a handle lol,

[HDaviator]

@Andersoniub94

Great pilot? How much skill does it take to pull a handle? No offence but doing those maneuvers on a homebuilt is risky at best. I surely wouldn't do low altitude maneuvers like that unless I was in an Extra or MX2. The story of a cocky young pilot if anything who was lucky to have a parachute.

[unapro3]

@HDaviator do some research on homebuilts before commenting.

[chaconero]

this is the news report of channel 13.

you will see the remains of the burned plane

(Y) watch?v=sLY7LghTeB8

[RodMafud]

I'm amazed by the reaction time of this pilot... barely one second goes by from the wing snapping, to the time the chute begins to deploy... great reflexes and not wasting time trying to recover the airplane like some pilots do and then don't have the altitude to deploy the BRS or bailing out... quick thinking...

[Fordan]

Not a model plane, real aerobatic plane with a pilot inside.

And for moyohtg, it's BRS Aerospace, I believe. At least, they're the ones who make most of the systems I've heard of.

[baloneyjazz]

That's a model plane?

[aviationpolska]

wow, incredible

[martinba77]

This is not luck, its a great, concentrate pilot!!! Grande pibe sos un campeón!!Saludos...y gracias por compartir este video tan impresionante!!!

[DavZZee]

oh yeah, kids now a days have to have two wings to land.

[charlieechovictor]

@DavZZee ... how funny ... pfff

[moyohtg]

Can anyone tell me the producing company of these BRS-Systems??

[unapro3]

@moyohtg google is your friend

[RoboTekno]

That was awesome. Although, for a second I thought he was going to knife edge the plane to the runway, but a parachute works too :P

[philipnewmannz]

Dam, that kid is pretty lucky...

[poerik]

lucky luke

[idontcare80]

Amazing system, it's great to see this had a positive outcome.

[0815tobey]

I land all the time with only one wing ;-)

[rauviz]

wow, lucky guy.
