Abstract
A method of transporting large numbers of passengers by air from a departure airfield to a destination airfield. The method comprises providing a large flying wing airframe, providing a plurality of passenger pods adapted to be loaded with passengers at a traditional airport gate facility, loading the pods with passengers, transporting the loaded pods to the airframe parked on the tarmac, attaching the loaded pods to the underside of the airframe, and flying the airframe to the destination airfield. The method further comprises detaching the pods from the airframe in the event of an in-flight emergency and deploying parachutes from the detached pods to lower them safely to the ground. A high density air transport system that embodies the method of the invention is also provided.
