Claims:
1. PATENT REQUIREMENTS The main elements of the passenger aircrafts for DC 9, DC 10 are parachutes and airbags. The four elements are important for the aircraft such as Jumbo Jet, and these are parachutes, air bags, chambers, Johnson motor with the highest power which moves the aircraft on water and has its purpose. The military and transport aircrafts of a bigger size have only two parachutes and they do not have air bags, chambers and Johnson motor at the end of the tale, and it is only recommended to coat each kerosene reservoir with the high quality asbestos. The aircraft of the Jumbo Jet type has two parachutes at the upper part of the body, of which one is 80 m in a diameter, while the other which is above it is 180 m in a diameter. See page 1, picture 1, mark 1 and 2. The third parachute is on the tale and 80 m in a diameter, which activates on the touch of the button from the pilot s cabin. See page 1 picture 1, mark no. 3. Also two small containers 2.5x2. 5 m in which there are air bags, that activate in case of emergency together with the parachute. See page 1 picture 1 mark 4 and 5. On the lower part, tale of the aircraft, there is a Johnson motor with the highest power which moves the aircraft on water and has its purpose.
2. See page 1 picture 1, mark 6.
3. Page no. 2 shows a passenger aircraft such as DC 9 or DC 10 which on the upper side of the body has a parachute of 80 m and 120 m in a diameter, and which is activated in case of emergency when falling to the ground. See page 2, picture 3, plus one more parachute which is marked on the picture and amounts about 60 m in a diameter. DC 9 and DC 10 have on the body part two small containers from the front and lower part of the aircraft, which contain the air bags, which are also activated together with the parachutes in case of emergency. See page 2 mark 3 and 4. The airbag containers are opened in case of emergency on the press of the button from the pilot's cabin by an electronic way, automatically.
4. Transport aircraft would have one parachute on the lower part of the body of 60m in a diameter and one parachute on the tail. See page 3 mark 1 and 2. Two chambers the upper and lower one. See page 4 marks 4 and 5. On the bottom of the transport aircraft there is an airbag container which is of 1 x 1 m in size. See page 3, mark no. 3. As the transport aircrafts transport valuable objects and mail, this is very important for the security of the mail in the airtraffic.
5. Military combat aircrafts of a bigger size have a parachute of 40 to 80m in a diameter on the upper body and one on the tail if possible of 60 to 80 m in a diameter. See page 4 mark 1. Under 2 there is an airbag container in the lower body part of the aircraft. See page 4 mark 2 and 3. Remark: Parachutes serve for prevention of a sudden fall to the ground of every aircraft. Airbags serve to decrease the blow on the ground for 90%, and in case they are damaged they can be easily and simply changed. Faster than the car tires. They have a small thread on the top, by which they are filled with air with the help of small compressors. The compressors accept the electricity of aircraft motor, and they can be omitted.
Description:
Protection of passengers in the aircraft traffic INVENTION DESCRIPTION 1) AREA TO WHICH THE INVENTION REFERS This invention refers to the protection of passengers in the air traffic and the new processing of the passenger transport and some military aircrafts-combat ones.

2) TECHNICAL PROBLEM Many aircrafts of all types, regardless of the manufacturer have had accidents throughout years. As the terrorism governs today at first place they have to be protected because the terrorism has no limits.

Those aircrafts are quite fragile today and I have given a new processing, dimension and hardness. Security against crashes, natural disasters, fire and hijacks.

A steel construction should be introduced, especially for the aircrafts, which are over 450 t and more, such as Jumbo Jet, which weighs about 800 t.

This problem is especially serious in the world. The people who use aircraft for a long distance traveling, which is the fastest means of transportation, lost confidence, which is hard to restore. Due to such frequent accidents the people decided to travel less with the airplane, because it is no more a guarantee that they will reach the aimed destination healthy and alive.

That aimed destination is their home, relatives, work, a country which they intended to reach in the fastest possible way. In order to restore their confidence it would surely be wise to make a new project, which would be of important use for the whole mankind, and for the industry which manufactures aircrafts. This project would be started with a prototype which demands a lot of financial means.

But we must not be stingy concerning this matter and short-sighted, because without investment and such a risk as a big project, there is no development. The aircrafts such as Jumbo Jet could have seats for thousand passengers without problems, no matter from which height they fall to the ground, water, lake, sea pr any ocean.

Regardless of the weather, there must not be fear any more, and confidence and courage will be restored to people again.

3) TECHNIQUE CONDITION (presentation and analysis of the known solutions of the definite technical problem) The numerous solutions of this important problem, which is today one of the most important problems, if we talk about the air traffic were suggested.

There were several known projects with the last passenger aircraft Concorde, the manufacture of which was terminated, because it burnt, when it crashed in a high speed to a small peace of metal on a runaway and broke the tire. It got on fire. The news was broadcast by all the TV stations throughout the world and released in all public newspaper. Concerning the change and new processing of the new aircraft, the form would stay the same, with the same arrangement and use, internal as well as the external one. Only some elements- constructions are changed. Parachutes, air bags with its containers, chambers, etc. will be constructed.

Those are all technical details, which are important for the protection of the aircraft and passengers.

Any other approach to this problem is unknown for me now, and it is not of such an importance.

4. ) PRESENTATION OF THE ESSENCE OF INVENTION The purpose is to understand the technical problem and its solution, and presentation of the technical news of the invention compared to the previous technique condition.

The primary aim of the invention is to improve the solution of the aircraft by falling, burning, natural disasters and hijacks. The secondary aim of the invention is to secure, improve and restore the confidence of the passengers in the air traffic. The further aim of the invention is to make the high quality and increase the number of passengers with the placed confidence and return the invested effort in the sense of the trust, security on all the long and short distance flights. Furthermore, to return all the invested means several times and compensate all the loses. The additional aims and advantages of the invention will be partially shown in the description which follows, and partially with the use of the invention.

On the occasion of the aircraft crash, which is mentioned and described here according to the ordinal numbers, the aims are primary and clear to every man.

The airbags are placed in their containers and are activated together with the parachutes when the aircrafts starts falling. The water must not enter them. They have to be hard, light, pliant, resistant to blows and of a fluorescent color : orange, yellow, turquoise blue, green and white. The red does not come into consideration. Why the airbags? Because they reduce the mild blow to the ground, and in ninety percent of the cases and more, everything in the aircraft, whether alive or not, movable or immovable stays intact and undamaged.

The chambers, which are hermetically closed, and which stretch from one part of the aircraft to the other, have almost the same effect, which is very important for the passenger aircraft itself, such as Concorde before or Jumbo Jet, DC 9 or DC 10 today.

They are of such an application, that together with the airbags, they keep the aircraft on water regardless of weather, depth, height and their power. In this way the invention enables the practical, secure and permanent and useful device which can be economically manufactured in all aircraft fabrics, and which includes very important improvements compared to the earlier known devices of this type.

It will be obvious to the experts that numerous changes on the aircraft could be made according to this invention without leaving the size and spirit of the invention.
