Boarding Your Plane...of the Future!
You know how much everyone loves the struggle that is boarding an airplane? The shuffling! The pushing! The babies crying!? Well we all could be kissing it all goodbye! You heard me right, several major airlines are working to develop more efficient ways to board an aircraft, using computer simulations to come up with mathematically formulas. And here I thought that I didn't need to use math after highschool. Oh well.
Apparently, getting everyone to board the plane faster is not just to keep everyone taking a trip happy. As David Swierenga, a former Air Transport Association of America economist explains "An airplane only generates revenue when it is in the air."
