Call them airplane bags.

In the wake of the tragic Air India crash, engineers have designed a new AI-powered safety system to prevent future in-flight mishaps. What they came up with seems just plane ridiculous — an aircraft equipped with outside airbags — but it apparently could save lives.

The Michelin Man-esque anti-crash concept, dubbed Project REBIRTH, is a finalist for the prestigious James Dyson Award, which spotlights inventions that can change the world.

“Project REBIRTH is the first AI-powered crash survival system,” reads the description of the pillowy protective measure on the site . “It deploys smart airbags, impact-absorbing fluids, and reverse thrust mid-air — turning fatal crashes into survivable landings.” 4

AI sensors can reportedly detect when a crash is abo
