A new and improved airport concept is disclosed herein. Redesigned
aircraft would be allowed to dock in the terminal instead of pulling up
to loading bridge. The nose section of the aircraft would tilt upwards or
to the side, either before or after the aircraft enters the terminal
docking station, wherein the passenger compartment would be removed from
the aircraft and placed in a deplaning area. Subsequently, a new
passenger compartment, fully loaded, would be placed into the plane.
Baggage would also be compartmentalized and would be removed through the
tail end section of the plane and the next baggage compartment would be
put in place. The airport would be laid out in order to minimize
passenger traffic and restrict vehicles to emergency and official airport
use only. Common use aircraft could be used to accommodate a variety of
airline companies flights, and also reduce fuel consumption and time.
Dwell time at gates being reduced will mean less gates required to
accommodate all aircraft. Terminals will no longer need to be spread out
to accommodate more people. New restaurant designs would allow for a food
court or restaurant tower.
