Modular Airplanes and Airplane Boarding Speedup Ideas (Tom Walma)

Ideas to speed up airplane boarding, including: * Robots to lift bags straight up/down into the overhead bins of an airplane, so people don't stand in the aisle and block the line of other people who are boarding while they try to shove their bags into the overhead bins * A modular airplane, where the top half (cockpit and cabin) can be removed, and i) replace the waiting area of the airport to eliminate the need for "boarding", and ii) when the plane lands and slams on it's brakes, slide off the front of the plane, land on wheels, and drive away (like a bus) onto the highway without slowing down * Use high-tech transportation like modular airplanes and drones to create a more diverse transportation system, instead of repairing old roads and bridges Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 83 Naz Neen Mike Geeter (twitter.com/OhMikeGeeter, Kevin Hart's "Hart in the City") Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://podcastdetroit.com)
