Preventing Rapid Decompression In Commercial Airliners
In Flight Airline Rapid Decompression Breached Window (Airline Safety. Another idea is to neoprene covered mini Frisbees made of high tech super strength plastic in the pockets of stewardesses, and in the event of a small breach they simply pick them up and toss them towards the hole which will suck them into place. This way bullets in cockpits intended for terrorists will not be an issue with pressure at those altitudes above 10,000 feet. The bottom of the bins would need to be a tad bit stronger such as carbon fiber to withstand the suction, but double strengthened re-enforced plastic, composite or fiberglass coated with rubber ought to work fine. In a 747 this is not too critical as the inlet for the pressurization cabin system is twice the size of a window and the pressurization system could keep up with a breach the size of a window.

Inflatable Slots for STOL
These rapid inflate cartridges would be for one time use for safety incase of loss of power or in case of minimal clearances of terrain on take off or severally restricted tolerances and critical take offs with regards to density altitude. Additionally I believe that Winslow Life Raft Company could provide a significantly valuable inflation system, which would generally be used to rapidly deploy Navy Seal type rubber rafts. Cartridges only used for extreme take off performance safety factors or emergency landings. For standard landings if desired the system would be filled with ram air rather than a cartridge. Each system would contain ten rechargeable cartridges.

What Causes Jet Lag?
Jet lag is caused by a significant and rapid change in time zones which result in a difference between the local time and the time recorded by your body's internal clock. By flying across several time zones and placing your body clock out balance with local time you upset the whole rhythm of your day, giving rise to such things as problems sleeping at night, staying awake during the day and eating when you wouldn't normally eat. In particular, your body clock tells your body when it is time to shut down for sleep and when it is time to wake up and start the day's activities. Much as our lives are controlled by time today, your body clock is also responsible for many of your body's functions. Your body contains its own internal clock which takes its time from the environment responding to such things as temperature, humidity and, most importantly, the normal daily change from daylight to darkness.
