Abstract: A new and improved airport system is disclosed herein. Redesigned aircraft dock in a terminal, instead of pulling up to loading bridge and the nose section of the aircraft tilts upwards or to the side for allowing passengers to be removed from the aircraft for deplaning. Cargo and baggage can be loaded using modules that utilize skids, automation, and/or robotics for easy loading and balancing of weight. The airport system will minimize passenger traffic on the airport grounds. The airport system or network includes a secure remote airport facility for servicing one or more airports. The remote airport facility includes a remote tower having a security checkpoint for entering passengers into the secure airport system and then transporting the passengers to the secure airport terminal. Common use aircraft allow a variety of airlines to accommodate passengers on a single flight and reduce fuel consumption and time.

Abstract: A new and improved airport concept is disclosed herein. Redesigned aircraft would be allowed to dock in the terminal instead of pulling up to loading bridge. The nose section of the aircraft would tilt upwards or to the side, either before or after the aircraft enters the terminal docking station, wherein the passenger compartment would be removed from the aircraft and placed in a deplaning area. Subsequently, a new passenger compartment, fully loaded, would be placed into the plane. Baggage would also be compartmentalized and would be removed through the tail end section of the plane and the next baggage compartment would be put in place. The airport would be laid out in order to minimize passenger traffic and restrict vehicles to emergency and official airport use only. Common use aircraft could be used to accommodate a variety of airline companies flights, and also reduce fuel consumption and time. Dwell time at gates being reduced will mean less gates required to accommodate all aircraft.
