Have you ever seen a modular drone? This could change the way air travel will be in the future.

360截图20180714143911614.jpgThe recent discovery of the founder of Akka Technology has created a radical new concept of "flying trains" that may completely subvert our understanding of air travel! It shows a piece called "Link &;; "Fly"'s aircraft design, this modular aircraft uses a cabin and detachable wing to speed up the boarding process, and also makes it easier for people to go to and leave the airport.

Akka Technologies released an amazing concept video showing how such a system can move passengers as well as cargo. And it can be transformed into a kind of train car that stops at a local station to drop off and watch video.
Akka Technologies was at the air show last fall because of its extraordinary Link & amp; Fly simulation won the honor of product marketing best film. Now the company hopes that this concept will attract the attention of major airlines and integrate some of these technologies into future aircraft design models.

From the verification video of this concept, it can be seen that the cabin and cargo compartment are parked separately from the wing, and the cabin can exit from the hangar and dock with the entire system.
The cabin will be connected to the wing from below, and the wing equipped with an engine at the top will wait for the connection of the cabin. This system uses automatic alignment technology, so all systems can be perfectly combined.
According to media reports, Link &; Fly may not become a reality, but different design modules may be used to improve people's air travel experience. Chief Executive Maurice Ricci said: "Aircraft need to be more efficient, less polluted and less noisy. Our role is to guide our customers into the technological age of the future. "

According to the video, Link &; The top altitude of the Fly aircraft can reach 39,800 feet(about 12.13 kilometers) and the cruising speed can reach Mach 0.78(about 600 miles per hour, equivalent to 965 kilometers per hour).
The concept aircraft designed by Akka Technology has a length of 33.8 meters, a height of 8.2 meters and a wingspan width of 48.8 meters. In freight mode, Link &;; The Fly concept aircraft can even be transformed into a drone.
Akka Technology's concept stems from the continuous development of the modular aircraft field, which can essentially enter the street from the sky. NASA and Uber, for example, said earlier this year that they would work together to develop a flying taxi system capable of operating in urban areas.

It was also reported this week that the flying taxi start-up company Joby Aviation and Kitty Hawk had secured $2 million in funding from the US military last year to realize their ideas. Perhaps in the near future, we will experience this concept of flying planes.
