The beauty of landing on a flying airport.
Size matters, even when it comes to aircraft: the bulkier the aircraft, the better they fly, with more stability and efficiency (think of the recent, enormous Airbus A380).

This is the underlying reason for the 'Airborne Metro' concept: it is, in fact, ... Read more
