French company Akka Technologies has developed the concept of a new transport aircraft that can replace traditional planes as well as electric cars replacing cars with internal combustion engines. The idea is called “Link & Fly” and it has already attracted the attention of Boeing, as well as large investors Asia who are looking for a way to dramatically overtake the European and especially the American aircraft industry.

From the point of view of consumers-the passengers, it looks like a “flying train”. People at the airport after you check in and sit in the capsule, which resembles a train car but with the interior of the cabin. It is self-propelled and team Manager was taxiing to the place of joining with the flying platform. That looks like a glider with a wingspan of 49 m, a length of 34 m and a height of 8 m. the Passenger capsule attached to her bottom, and this tandem takes off into the sky.

The first advantage is minimization of downtime of the aircraft on the ground, it will take exactly as many seconds as you need to land, the changing of the capsules and taking off. Loading and unloading of the capsules are not connected with flights, saves time and improves safety. Further, capsules can be passenger, cargo, special, etc. Universal flying platform, no matter what to carry, yet all fit into the weight limit.

Capsules can be equipped with motors and autopilot, and the layout of the airport remodel to optimize their movement. No longer needed taxiways, mooring terminals, ladders and other equipment, instead, the city built a special station, where passengers with comfort and without any traffic going to the system of runways in the distance. And from the opposite directions to move the capsule with cargo — logistics will become so flexible that the current airports would be out of the competition.
