A method of air transport includes improved reliability and safety of passengers and cargo transported by an aircraft having three fuselages. The method includes locating a cockpit of the aircraft at a forward portion of the first fuselage and isolating the cockpit from a remaining portion of the aircraft. The cockpit is then shielded and independently pressurized from the remainder of the aircraft by controls housed in the cockpit. The method further includes distributing passengers and cargo among the three fuselages, such as by locating dangerous or suspicious passengers or cargo in the second and third fuselages away from the cockpit. Also, dangerous or suspicious passengers or cargo may be located in the second and third fuselages and, thereby, isolated from the remaining passengers and cargo.
