How would you escape a boeing 747 jumbo jet?

Question:
I'm writing a novel and the main character is a criminal who needs to escape a boeing 747 once it has landed without going out the main door. I know nothing about this kind of thing so please can someone help me? Could they escape through the bathroom in some way?

If a helicopter flies over a large hole, will it lose altitude and/or crash?

How do you build a radio controlled object e.g. plane?

There is not exit in the washroom of airplane. The best way would be through one of the emergency exits on the side of the fuselage, unfortunately none are located above the wing on a 747; those doors are meant to be manipulated quite easily (I have done it once for a emergency evacuation test, although there was someone outside to catch the door so it would not get damaged, and it was a different type of airplane). The reason there are no doors over the wind is that the wing is too high for someone to jump off it safely.
The opening of an emergency door will trigger the inflation of the chute, so if this was meant ot be a discrete escape, that is not the best way.

What would you say the "average percentage" of passengers on a regular jetliner is?

The only way would be the rear or overwing exits.

What are the education requirements in order to be a pilot?


The older DC10s used to have an underdeck galley that had a side service door, but those are all gone.

What does a fighter pilot do on a daily basis?


And no, there isn't a back door on Air Force One like in the movie.
That's why I hate movies that involve airplanes, they ususally make up crap that isn't even close to reality.

Can you bring a computer tower in your carry on luggage?

I suppose you could escape through the galley, in that there is a connection to the cargo hold, that would be the best thing I could think of. Watch Air-Force one again, or that movie where steven segal falls out of the plane.

Where can I download the noise that a airplane call button makes?

Possible exits on a 747
Doors
Pilot escape hatch
Electronic/electrical acces hatch, which can be accessed from the front zone in the floor.

What is the fastest plane?

Maybe you could remove the windows in the cockpit. I've seen pics of planes where the pilot is waving their arm out the window. They were probably in a different type of plane though.

how much environmental damage does a 747 have,on a flight from NY to LA?

Like in "Catch Me If You Can", Leonardo DiCaprio escaped but they never showed how. They just showed Tom Hanks looking out the window and he's running away.

How does a student pilot find out if he/she is meant to be a pilot?


You could possibly make it the wheel well area. However, you don't want the character to be hiding there the entire flight because he'd freeze to death within a few minutes of reaching altitude.

does anyone else operate a hughes 300 helocopter and having problems with getting parts?

Do your research that is how you come up with feasible plots for dilemmas like this. I know there are ways to the lower holds in the military version of the 747, but I doubt that are readily available to the passengers on the civilian jets.

If the "black box" flight recorder is never damaged during a plane crash, why isn't the whole airplane made ou

well you can either walk go to the galley or an over wing exit where it is easy to escape, then pull that ring that inflates the emergency slide, then cut it off so nobody can go after you because a plane is 20 feet high, nobody can jump off without breaking something, unless they know how to parkour ( jump and roll), I don't think there is a way to escape from lavatory though because747 lavs are in the middle of the cabin so if you do punch through the wall and escape, you just end up right at someone's seat. If the 747 had the 717's rear exit, that'd be more dramatic because the DC-9 and the 717's rear emergency exit is at the rear point of the plane and you ahev to slide through it.

What would happen to a passenger aircraft if it went faster?

he Could fold him self into one of the food shelf's (That box where they keep the food in its about 1m tall 500cm wide and 800cm deep with wheels on ) I'm sure you;ve seen it they big enough to fit a person in.

Where can I find videos of planes crash landing on seas and videos of crash from the cockpit and so on?

As others have said. there's no overwing exit from a 747, and it's a long way down from those doors. But if he hangs on until people have left and he's down the back end, then he could open a door (emergency gear would be disarmed but he could re-arm it or pull the lanyard). Alternatively, it is a story after all, he could open the door over a filled baggage cart to a soft landing.

E6B question?

I am a flight attendant and there would be no feasible way to escape the aircraft unnoticed by crew and/or ground staff.
There are no 'secret' ports in lavatories or galleys. Everything is upfront and visible to crew, other passengers and those on ground. The movie 'Flight Plan' was ridiculous, but hey, it still did well at the box office.
