ABSTRACT:
An aircraft passenger extraction system having a fuselage and a tail section removably attached to the fuselage. A plurality of interconnected passenger modules are removably disposed within the fuselage. Four I-beam rails are longitudinally mounted about the inside circumference of the fuselage, and the passenger modules have four sets of wheels that slide on the rails. The tail section has four pairs of separation flaps and four extraction flaps to assist in the separation of the tail section in the event of an airborne emergency. Upon separation of the tail section of the fuselage, the interconnected passenger modules are slidingly withdrawn from the fuselage. Once the passenger modules clear the fuselage, the interconnections of each passenger module are severed in sequence, and a series of parachutes are deployed to safely float each passenger compartment to earth.
