I agree with the 'tekspert', you can never make a plane uncrashable. A parachute would save the plane and serious injury but the chute could fail or the system that deploys it could fail.
Your idea is very interesting, the technology is up to it, but it too could fail...
I have heard of a system like that recently.Can you give more info?
