What airplanes have a parachute?

Some of the planes that have whole-plane parachutes include the RANS S-9 aerobatic airplane, the Lockheed Air Express airplane, and the Cessna 150. Cirrus Aircraft also began including these parachutes in their SR20s and SR22s in the mid-1990s.

Can you legally bring a parachute on a plane?

If a TSA officer determines that a bag must be opened to inspect the parachute, you must be present to assist in the inspection.

Why don’t they make parachutes for planes?

Short answer: There are a few reasons, including the lack of parachute training of passengers, high speed of the airplane, cold temperatures at that altitude, non-conducive design of commercial planes and the cost spike, which make putting parachutes onboard commercial airplanes unviable.
