Jim Starry on the Future of Travel
“We have to reconsider the basic structure of airports. If we land planes on an incline to assist in deceleration and have runways end on top of the terminals to eliminate the need for taxiing, we can save billions of gallons of fuel each day. It’s not that radical an idea. We can utilize the concept to make airports more efficient.”
