Are you afraid of flying? Perhaps in the near future, you won't have a reason to be.

If a Ukranian inventor has his way, planes of the future will all be able to eject the cabin – whether it's in the process of take-off, is mid-flight, or is about to land – in the case of an emergency.

The Independent reports that for three years, Tatrenko Vladimir, a Ukranian engineer, has been working on technology capable of safely detaching a cabin from an airplane.

If something went wrong while in the air, the cabin would detach from the rest of the aircraft and drift safely to the ground with the aid of parachutes.

Vladimir's design also includes storage space to hold luggage under the cabin, that way passengers wouldn't lose any of their personal belongings.

Reactions to the engineer's innovation have been mixed. Some support the idea while others deem it impractical.
