Airplane of the future can arrive on rails?
a modular airplane in which the wings, engines and cabin are separated from the rest of the fuselage area. The passenger cabin and cargo area form an independent part that is kept under the wings before starting the flight."After cars become electric and autonomous, the next big innovation will happen on airplanes," said company CEO Maurice Ricci, adding that "today we must be able to respond to the problems posed by the aviation industry through the evolution of air transport ".According to Akka's futuristic concept, passengers take a tube-like train and, during the ride to the airport, all the issues inherent in boarding are treated by scanning the passengers' retina.
This is a factor that contributes to improved passenger comfort, since passengers will no longer have to wait in large queues, optimizing their time on the ground, which translates into a gain of about half an hour per flight.
Link & Fly will be able to carry 162 passengers and seats will be removable to carry merchandise instead of people. Counting the wings, it measures about 49 meters wide, 34 meters long and 8 meters high and has a fuel capacity of 8,750 liters. These features allow each aircraft to perform nine flights per day instead of the current seven.
The company introduced the idea in a 3D simulation video and attracted the interest of potential customers in Asia, Ricci said, with Boeing being one of its key target customers.
