The future of air travel?

The model of an adjustable plane, with wings that can be attached to for instance train compartments, will be shown at the Paris Air Show next week, the Swiss inventors. The ‘Clip-Air’ project is fresh off the drawing board and features a single flying wing that could be clipped onto for instance train ‘capsules’ carrying passengers or cargo, the EPFL technical university in Lausanne said in a statement. "More than a new type of flying device, its innovative concept could revolutionise the airports of the future," it said.
