A new system to resist terrorist bombs smuggled onto aircraft has been tested in dramatic experiments.

A device called FlyBag is designed to absorb the shockwaves and shrapnel caused by explosions.

If security fails and a bomb reaches the luggage hold, the idea is that the blast would be safely contained.

The trials - using old jets at Cotswolds Airport in Gloucestershire - showed that explosions on board caused no damage.

Can you suck the fumes from the bag afterwards and sound like Donald Duck? That would be really cooool!
