Abstract:
The present invention relates to preventing one or a group of suicide hijackers from taking over control of an airplane and crashing it onto public facility such as a building, city, dam, atomic reactor, or ship for the purpose of causing mass destruction and killing of innocent civilians. This invention comprises multiple defense stations inside the passengers cabin. Each station has a motorized defense tool, video camera viewer with remote controller is in front of the pilot and in airline, FBI, and CIA headquarters. Each station has one of the following; a defense tool, a gun with silencer, stunt gun, tranquilizer, MACE or pepper sprayer, arrow thrower with high voltage electric charge, wood hammer, head banger, stomach puncher, foot tripper and trap, head holder, waist grabber, or a leg trapper or breaker as one of the stunt none-lethal and no permanent damage to immobilize the intruders. The locations of defense stations includes cabin ceiling above the center isle, cabin floor below walk isle, inside cabin side walls, rear of cabin, cockpit door, and inside cockpit. Line of fire is above isle stretch and above the heads of sitting passengers. Video cameras are mounted on these defense tools that are motorized for direction and for automatic firing. Remote viewing of gun sight field, remote aiming, and firing by pilot or by central or regional location of Police, InterPol, FBI, CIA, FAA, army, or headquarters allows the pilot or commanding post to act in defense, immobilize, physically knockdown, or tranquilize the one or multiple hijackers. The video and sound connection as well as pointing and firing are in realtime communication via internet, radio, cellular, or satellite means. An automatic recognition of intruder sitting on pilot's seat is by few parameters such weight, skin color, color of eyes, and voice according to past flyers and airline listed pilots employees. A computer and a GPS system on board the airplane reads the GPS of plane in flight and reads an on file list of on ground GPSs of sensitive potential terror targets nationally and international locations such as atomic reactors, building, and dams that are filed into computer and its backup computer. If the plane flight is below 2000 feet and is approaching a GPS potential target the computer automatically overrides the intruder pilot to turn left by temporary mechanical locking tail left flap or tail flap up. Another security item is kite-like controlled opening parachute for the plane for slow vertical speed and slow horizontal speed to lower the chances of injuries and damage.
