It has been some time since we came across an idea as innovative as this, despite sharing a few ideas here that have revolutionized the world of transportation.
The idea is “Link & Fly”, created by a French entrepreneur and his company Akka Technologies, and what it proposes is switching wings when airplanes land at an airport. The detached wings are refueled while the rest of the airplane–with passengers–heads to the terminal, where another plane is docked, ready to take off with its attached wings.
We recommend simply watching the video; you’ll be surprised by this great idea, only a concept for now, but that we may well see in our airports in the future.
