If
we look to the airplanes section the situation is
still similar, with some advantage, where,
the industry works with more innovation, in reality
due to the handmade
production lines.
However
the design of Boeing 747 date of the years 1960,
as the extinct Concord.
The new airplanes
don't integrate any important revolution.
Actually,
traveling by airplane never was so uncomfortable
as now. Tiny Internal spaces
and armchairs, unpleasant
board feeding, extremely uncomfortable
airports, check-ins with immense files, difficulty
access. It was already
proven that in short trips up to 3 hours
it is faster through cars or trains. Per
times for trips of an hour
of duration are necessary four hours, one
for access to the airport, one for check-in
and embarkment, and
one for access to the city counting with
good conditions.
Long
trips are still more stressful. The fatigue and the
stress of traveling by airplane don't come truly
from the flight risks, but from the assortment
of conditions around the sector. Now with the terrorism
polices the situation
is really catastrophic, at the point of the
greatest part of tourism passengers' to give up because
of these
conditions, preferring to go by car near to their
homes.
The high-speed trains are narrow, has reduced armchairs,
and they present a continue swinging, and have the same
problems of embarkments and disembarkations in great
stations, with enormous discomfort.
Actually there are not a lot to commemorate in the vehicles
sector, because the inherent problems to the transport
and the vehicles, the architecture and the logistics,
with immense crowds to transport, the sector of vehicles
slip, even whether we have feeling of moving forward,
actually, it only have effect crisis solutions for immense
problems.
When we see the project Airbus A380 one may feel that
the planners go away more and more of the reality. We
already have immense traffic jam problems, passengers'
control, costs of fuels. The project of an airplane with
these characteristics totally contradicts the good sense,
even since it is only profitable with occupations of
85% and superiors, it transports about 650 passengers,
and an enormous fuel consumption.
In this sense Boeing with a proposition of smaller airplanes
point to point, or be using smaller airports and with
more economical airplanes and larger autonomies, it seems
the only to have some good sense.
It
is fundamental to trace transports point
to point. A direct flight
NY–Marseille
will avoid a lot of the concentration
in Paris. France and England are perhaps
the principals concentration countries.
Everything
go
by Paris or London,
Trains, Airplanes, decisions.
The
increase of the deconcentration,
with smaller vehicles, more comfortable
and faster, will bring an improvement
of controls
and operation.
Nowadays because of customs services, the whole transport
is concentrated and the industry more and more looks
for doing vehicles for a voluminous transport.
The
Xcor Aerospace proposes divers new design configuration
as XERUS. In this configuration,
the sub orbital vehicle would function as reusable
vehicle capable of putting a micro satellite into low
Earth orbit.
The
sub orbital vehicle also will provide a high-energy
ride that will take passengers nearly
to orbital altitudes,
though a not orbital velocity.
Avionics
is perhaps the most advanced technology nowadays.
Electronic computers,
GPS, simulators making piloting safer.
