I need an egg launch device that is only 6 inches it cannot use any parachutes or wings and the raw egg has to be taken put in withing 30 seconds. I can't find anything that works. HELP?

My initial thoughts are that the egg needs to be placed into something which will cushion the impact.... so how about a box (about twice the size of an egg) filled with sand or jelly, and fired by means of a catapult - look up a simple 'trebuchet' or slingshot.

Don't expect the egg to land safely - have someone catch it..... to the best of my knowledge that is not against the usual rules..... which only say that the egg must travel a certain distance, and must not break.

Why are there flotation devices under plane seats instead of parachutes?

AnswerCommercial aircraft are not well designed for skydiving. Their normal flight altitude is far too high and engine placement would suck any would-be skydiver right in. Therefore, your best chance or survival would be to assume the crash position and let the pilots land the aircraft on a large body of water. Then, you can escape using your seat cushion (full of beer farts) as a flotation device until help (or sharks) arrive.
