I was going to blog about my brilliant solution to the challenge of minimising aeroplane boarding times, but some smart arse beat me to it.  Instead of working out which order to board people — rear to front, window to aisle, by amount of carry-on luggage etc — you make the plane modular.  The plane is a shell with a modular seating area with overhead lockers that can be placed in the gate lounge.  You stow your luggage, and get in your seat, with access from any direction, and make yourself comfortable.  When everyone is seated, the whole seating section is lifted and slotted into place in the plane.  Presto, you’re boarded in five minutes instead of thirty.  Do the same with the baggage hold and the fuel tanks, and you can turn around a plane in fifteen minutes.
