There are a lot of weird things that happen all over the world while we do our everyday activities, such as going to work or simply going out for a walk. This is exactly what the people of Arkansas were faced with when they saw that a parachute plane was coming down from the sky and in their city. But there are tons of questions that follow this statement, such as what is actually a parachute plane and what was it’s doing there. Well, the answer is pretty simple and straightforward if you see what the former Walmart CEO did in the video below.
This is a small type of a plane that has a parachute installed on top of it and that can be activated in an emergency situation i.e. when there is an engine or wing failure. This is exactly what had happened to this former Walmart CEO who was flying with this small plane and all of a sudden his engine stopped working. There was one thing that he could do, and that is to pull the red handle located over his head and activate the parachute.
Surprising enough, he landed the plane in a field without even a scratch and without injuring any other civilian. This is where we come to the question whether this new system of a parachute plane could be installed in the large passenger planes that transport millions of people each year.
Well, they are currently working on improving it and they hope that in 10 years time each plane is going to have this parachute as a backup.
