An aerospace engineering company has designed a glass pod that can be attached to existing aircraft

hopefully that’s not on any @Boeing planes

How origami is used in aerospace engineering

WWII vets called that a top turret.

Nice concept, but wouldn't that negatively impact the aerodynamic properties of the aircraft thus causing a higher fuel burn? Yes, the drag might seem negligible, but airlines function on razor thin margins, so any added drag seems wasteful.

Cool as long as a DEI hire didn’t design it

i want one at the bottom of the plane

They will never add these to planes. Right now they can't even keep the wheels on

The POD PLANES that could transform air travel: Radical concept craft may mean you never have to queue at the airport again When you travel abroad, instead of having to get a bus, taxi or train to the airport then wait to board the plane, imagine jumping on a capsule and not having to get out until you have flown to another country

If only it had a turret we could take out all these Chinese balloons entering US airspace
