Here’s a similar concept – a detachable passenger cabin for airliners, which could be landed with parachutes in an emergency.

Commercial airliners can weigh more than 400 tonnes. Therefore, you would need too many parachutes to land the plane safely, which is impractical.
Some planes have a parachute system that can be deployed for a safe landing. However, the technology is currently only available for light aircrafts.
