Firstly, re-thinking for better design for emergencies is worthy. I know at least couple of people that will never fly just because of crash phobia. A fully detachable cabin is not a great idea or obviously it requires improvements since the concept shown in video doesn't work for fatigue with two pressurised volumes or considering the wing box stress. I rather go with robust ejectable 0-0 seats, if we remove the useless 9.0g crash requirement, the weight impact could be insignificant. Should I register a patent?
