Abstract

A Safety and Control System for an airplane that allows a pilot to adjust the direction of an airplane and protect the plane in emergency situations. The engine of the plane can create thrust in more than one direction for improved maneuverability. A plurality of parachutes and landing pads can be deployed to protect the plane, along with the people in it.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A control system for an airplane comprising an exhaust device to control a direction of jet engine exhaust, wherein the exhaust device comprises:
 an intake;   an exhaust reservoir attached to the intake, wherein the exhaust reservoir comprises exhaust openings and exhaust covers;   wherein an exhaust opening in a closed configuration is sealed by an exhaust cover, wherein an exhaust opening in an open configuration is not sealed by the exhaust cover;   wherein the intake is configured to receive the jet engine exhaust and transfer the jet engine exhaust to the exhaust reservoir; and   wherein the exhaust reservoir is configured to receive the jet engine exhaust from the intake and release the jet engine exhaust through at least one exhaust opening in an open configuration to provide thrust to the airplane.   
     
     
         2 . The control system of  claim 1 , wherein the exhaust reservoir comprises six exhaust openings, wherein the exhaust openings are located at a front position, a back position, a left position, a right position, a top position, and a bottom position. 
     
     
         3 . The control system of  claim 2 , wherein the exhaust reservoir is spherical. 
     
     
         4 . The control system of  claim 3 , wherein the exhaust device has a stationary state and a transition state, wherein the stationary state has five exhaust openings in the closed configuration and one exhaust opening in the open configuration to provide thrust in the direction of the exhaust opening in the open configuration, wherein the transition state has four exhaust openings in the closed configuration and at least one exhaust opening in the open configuration. 
     
     
         5 . The control system of  claim 4 , further comprising controls in a cockpit to control the exhaust device. 
     
     
         6 . The control system of  claim 5 , wherein the intake is attached to the exhaust reservoir between the exhaust openings at the front position and bottom position. 
     
     
         7 . The control system of  claim 6 , wherein the intake is secured to a jet engine. 
     
     
         8 . The control system of  claim 7 , wherein the exhaust device is made of a material that can handle a pressure and a heat of the jet engine exhaust. 
     
     
         9 . The control system of  claim 8 , further comprising a second exhaust device. 
     
     
         10 . The control system of  claim 9 , wherein exhaust devices have synchronized controls to provide thrust in a same direction. 
     
     
         11 . A control system comprising a safety system for the airplane, wherein the safety system comprises:
 a plurality of parachutes, wherein at least one parachute opens in case of an emergency; and   controls in a cockpit to activate the at least one parachute.   
     
     
         12 . The control system of  claim 11 , wherein the controls further activate at least one sliding door to provide an opening for the at least one parachute. 
     
     
         13 . The control system of  claim 12 , further comprising at least one backup parachute that deploys if the at least one parachute fails. 
     
     
         14 . The control system of  claim 13 , wherein the plurality of parachutes comprises a first parachute and a second parachute, wherein the first parachute differs in size and shape from the second parachute. 
     
     
         15 . The control system of  claim 14 , wherein the first parachute opens on top of a front portion of the airplane and the second parachute opens on top of a rear portion of the airplane. 
     
     
         16 . A control system comprising a safety system for the airplane, wherein the safety system comprises:
 at least one inflatable landing pad for the airplane;   wherein the landing pad is stored deflated inside the airplane; and   wherein the landing pad is activated to inflate the landing pad and cover at least a   portion of a bottom of the airplane to cushion the airplane.   
     
     
         17 . The control system of  claim 16 , further comprising controls in a cockpit to activate the at least one landing pad. 
     
     
         18 . The control system of  claim 17 , wherein the landing pad comprises strong, flexible material. 
     
     
         19 . The control system of  claim 18 , wherein the controls control at least one valve to release pressured gas to the landing pad. 
     
     
         20 . The control system of  claim 19 , wherein the at least one inflatable landing pad comprises a front landing pad and a rear landing pad, wherein the front landing pad is released from a bottom of a front portion of the airplane and the rear landing pad is released from a bottom of a rear portion of the airplane.
