I like it. Time will tell if anything comes of it.

Ooops, I meant drop the gear....

 

 

[Deskpilot]

To what are you referring Birdseye. Perhaps you've posted on the wrong page.

I was referring to an accidental dropping of the tubular container instead of the landing gear.

I got it.

I'm working on one which attaches wings to the airport departure lounge and flies off with it; but it also is just in the design stage.

 

For this to be of any use at all, there has to be a very substantial benefit to pay for the extra weight from the extra structure.

People wouldn’t need to check in their bags. They could just have them in the lounge on a trolley.

You'd want to hope the locking clamps held in rough weather.

So, which uniquely original combo name are they going to call it: "Plain" or a "Trane"?

 

 

[Birdseye]

Maybe a contraction of Flying Truck?

So you are stuck in the container for much longer instead of walking and peeing etc occasionally What about the quality of the experience? this type of "THING means YOU compromise both vehicles. Just speed up the train and make it comfortable and forget the wing bit (with the inevitable and costly and growing delays with the airfields). Nev
