How Airport Design Helps People Flow in Airports
S1 E1 - 3m 9s
In Atlanta, we explore how airport design helps regulate people-flow in the world’s busiest airport. All manner of design techniques underpin airport layout, and help to unconsciously control passenger movements through the space. This is crucial to ensuring that the biggest airports do not become congested. Airport design guru, Jim Harding, explains the tricks of the trade.
The World’s Biggest Passenger Plane Takes Off
S1 E1 - 3m 3s
The cockpit is rigged with cameras covering all angles of the take-off as this massive 100 ton machine hurtles down the runway. It couldn’t happen without ‘lift’, and ‘thrust’ – the two fundamental forces necessary for flight to take place. It must reach its critical speed within a matter of seconds, and once the plane has crossed this threshold, there can be no turning back.
