The prototype consists of a detachable cabin to be ejected at any time during take off, mid-flight or landing and allow the passengers to land safely via all-cabin parachute.

Considering the pilots could stay with the plane, that would be great for unruly pax. “This is your captain speaking, good bye”.
Since when is cgi a prototype?
How silly.
There is no prototype, the idea is ages old and never came to fruit.
And in other news – multi-purpose robot invented that can also be used as a car

The oldest article I found with a 10 second google search dates back to 1932. But there must be older ones, most probalbly the Wright brothers already toyed with the idea after they killed their first passenger in 1908…

But Airbus really has had a patent for a detachable passenger cabin approved by the U.S. patent office as recently as last month! But not as a rescue system, the plan is to make boarding easier for the passengers.

One could also make it the other way round, a detachable cockpit with BRS ;-) Much easier to solve, too.

The B58 Hustler had that. But there were no passengers in the back, just atomic bombs.
Thunderbird 2 had that concept 
Thunderbird 2 heavy transporter
It could even land at Davos contrary to the C5A which just visited ZRH to deliver US Material for the next several days….
More on chutes – this could run and run :-)
just another Cirrus thread.
