Airbus did try to market this to Asian airlines with higher density flights. Obviously it never went anywhere but interior designers are still trying to find a way to do it.

 

I think the best way to go about it is to get rid of the main door entry and have multiple entry points, faster loading and unloading of luggage, reverse facing inclined seating. This would mean an entirely different type of jet.

 

The biggest fault today is the gate with a single entry point to an aircraft. So much time is wasted with people sitting around a gate and waiting to be loaded according to row. A better way around this is to think rapid transit and have multiple entries. A more rapid system then the current way of doing things. The Aircraft Concept today is pretty much the same concept back in the 1950's, just bigger and with more congestion. The layout of a 737 is still the same now as it was in the original blue print back in the 1960's.

 

A 30 minute flight is wasted with more time on the ground then actually flying. The airport concept itself is the biggest limitation right now.

That would be kind of like this......looks like fun if you ask me :LMAO:

 

Anyhow.....I don't see it happening with a 737 or A330's but sometime in the distant future it would be possible to have rapid air transport between cities that are standing only. London to Dublin in 15 minutes and standing only.....you never know.

Those people appear to be seated..

I reckon I'd be willing to pay a small premium for a rollercoaster flight. As long as the chap behind had remembered to buy a sick-bag.

In a stand-up rollercoaster you are actually sitting on a bike seat and slightly inclined.

 

If I was going to do standing airlines like was proposed before I would actually make it slightly inclined as well, not as hard on the knees and a little more comfortable this way.

No one is entitled to break anything. No one should expect to be able to get away from regulations. However, I hoped my explanation of a my poor old dad, of 86 years, who incidentally has dreadful arthritis and was in a wheel chair at the time, would have explained what I meant when I said, pay peanuts and get monkeys. Do I really have to explain the sentiment of my post, if so then there lies the problem.

 

I dont understand. You say "No one is entitled to break anything. No one should expect to be able to get away from regulations" yet expect Ryanair staff to break them.

He explained himself quite well, actually.

The only way to make change is to break regulation. It happens all the time and is forever evolving.

 

Otherwise an aircraft like the 787 wouldn't exist if regulators said an aircraft structure had to be all metal materials, and the Concorde would have never have left the ground as that broke many regulations at that time. It was like pulling teeth to get the Americans to allow the Concorde to fly into USA airspace and regulations could have grounded the program indefinitely.

That's true if you accept everyone should comply with the regulations except my father is an explanation.

Except he never said what you just quoted. You are merely paraphrasing to make your own point.

For crying out loud, do you visit this forum just to argue or do you have a purpose. I can't be bothered to try and explain, if you can't see it then I feel sorry for you. End of discussion.

One of the ways airlines like Ryanair can quote low fares is by charging extra for every breach of their regulations - overweight and oversize baggage, not checking in online etc etc.

 

That's their businees model. If you don't like it then use other airlines and pay higher fares. Don't buy a cheap fare and then complain because you had to pay extra for breaching the regulations.

I LOVE Ryanair !!!! (largest fleet of 737 800's in the world by the way !)

 

( If I did not say that, Michael would have 2 of his hit men call on me during the night )

Currently the largest 737-800 fleet in the world but not for long....Michael isn't talking to Boeing anymore, he is talking to Comac and United Aircraft Corporation. The future of the low cost carrier will most likely be made in China
