Crash Landing? New Marshmallow Concrete May Just Save Your Life
A new material called marshmallow concrete crumbles like a marshmallow when a plane lands on it in an emergency, absorbing the aircraft's energy and improving chances of surviving a crash landing. It looks like regular concrete but is ultra-light and designed to absorb impact.
Scientists have developed a new material called marshmallow concrete that resembles regular concrete but crumbles like a marshmallow when subjected to impact, potentially improving chances of survival in emergency crash landings by absorbing an aircraft's energy. The ultra-light foam is designed to provide cushioning and protection for occupants, reducing the risk of injury or fatality. Researchers say this innovative material could be used in aircraft design to create safer landing surfaces.
