Modular passenger loading concept - Passenger loading is a major bottleneck in traditional aircraft design. Minimizing the time on the ground would help improve profitability for carriers. Modular loading could dramatically speed up boarding and deplaning time. Passengers load into seats mounted to movable floor sections like a theme park ride. These remain covered until the assembly slides into the plane and locks into position.

Modular loading could dramatically speed up boarding and deplaning time. Between flights, aircraft interiors would not need to be cleaned and loaded with meals and luggage while the plane was grounded. Instead, the fuselage capsules could be pre-loaded and ready to go upon arrival.
Twin hull concept sketch - Twin hulls and a central view deck pair high seating capacity with unparalleled views.
Specialty themed aircraft - Alliances between airlines and sponsors allow ad space on featured aircraft to be leased out. This generates profit even when the plane is parked. Planes with company logos offer special services or products as optional purchases during flight. In this concept Starbucks teams with an airline to offer a "Premium blend" of business class and premium economy seating. A coffee bar and special interior and exterior decorating theme is included.
Expanded entertainment opportunities solve in-flight boredom: - Airlines can benefit both themselves and the passengers by entertaining a captive audience. Optional purchases generate additional revenue for the airline. Key card ticketing allows secure access to locked baggage compartments along with purchases of goods and services. Touch screen LCD monitors in seat backs allow recreational activities (gambling, movies, video games, duty free shopping and satellite TV) as well as optional charge items to be purchased with integral card slider.
