Meet Project an AI-powered crash survival system designed by Eshel Wasim and Dharsan Srinivasan to protect passengers when all else fails.
Using sensors, AI, and impact-absorbing airbags made of Kevlar and smart fluids, the system can deploy in under two seconds, slowing the aircraft and cushioning the impact. beacons, GPS, and bright signals also ensure faster rescue response.
𝐁𝐨𝐫𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐝𝐲, 𝐑𝐄𝐁𝐈𝐑𝐓𝐇 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬:
• Slow the aircraft before impact
• Absorb crash forces
• Help rescuers reach survivors quickly
With simulations showing a 60% reduction in crash impact, the team is now preparing full-scale tests and competing for the James Dyson Award 2025.
A step from students towards reimagining aviation safety.
