The Problem Millions of Hours & Billions of Dollars Wasted
For many shorter flights the majority of travel time is eaten by the airport – getting to
the terminal, checking bags, going through security, walking endless corridors, and waiting
on a chaotic, frustrating line to board your seat, then waiting for everyone to exit,
luggage to get to a carousel, and a long trek to a car service or public transportation.
The Culprit is Wings
Airports need to be massive because wings take a tremendous amount of space, forcing planes
to be far from one another and requiring long hallways and terminals.
The Solution Jetspeed Cartridges
A revolutionary, patent-pending modular system that slashes millions of hours and billions of dollars from air travel
Jovari solves this by creating wingless passenger cartridges. Passengers board from the
side, the modules close, and autonomous pods drive the cartridges to planes and insert them.
No Hallways, Escalators, or Elevators
Because 40 passenger cartridges fit in the space of just 6 airplanes, there are no long
hallways from the airport entrance to the gate.
Passengers exit their cab, check bags, go through security, walk directly to their gate, and
enter directly into their row - all in less than 4 plane lengths.
No Trek to Baggage Claim. No Waiting For Bags
On arrival, pods drive passenger and cargo cartridges to dedicated Arrivals Terminals,
where
cargo cartridges slide out of the pods before the passengers, and are waiting for them
right
in front of their seats.
No Waiting For Deplaning, Cleaning, or Taxiing
There are multiple cartridges for every plane, so arriving cartridges are removed and
immediately replaced by departing cartridges.
Planes do not need to taxi to and from the terminal, eliminating tremendous amounts of
wasted time and wear-and-tear on expensive tires.
That also means no waiting for the previous flight to deplane and for the crew to clean
seats, no crowded cross traffic in terminals, reduced safety risks, and much faster
boarding
(directly into your row!).
Faster Autonomous Cleaning
After people exit and take their luggage , pods bring the cartridges to a dedicated
autonomous cleaning terminal where robots pick up lost items (and other robots return them),
vacuum, clean, and replace any seatback documents and magazines.
Other robots handle basic safety checks and repairs. If a cartridge needs more extensive
work it's moved to a special section.
Then the clean and inspected cartridge is brought to the Departure terminal for its next
flight.
The Departure Terminal
The Departure Terminal is highly centralized and compact, to reduce lines and waiting, while
maximizing comfort.
It has limited retail and food for the very small amount of times you may have to wait, but
plenty of seating -- even more than the number of seats on the waiting cartridges so you can
rest or work comfortably before your flight.
Remote Terminals
Because they have no wings, cartridges can be picked-up and dropped-off at hyper-local
Remote Terminals.
For example, a pod at a small terminal in Miami Beach can take passengers directly to the
Miami International Airport, and then when they land they can be brought to Manhattan
directly from LGA or JFK --- no need for each person or family to take their own
transportation to Miami and to Manhattan.
This removes thousands of taxi and car trips, helping to eliminate traffic.
Eliminating Millions of Square Feet, Billions in Waste
It costs a fortune to staff, clean, secure, support, and heat and cool a traditional airport
- largely because of their size.
By eliminating the hallways, endless terminals, and myriad of escalators and elevators,
airports save billions of dollars in staff, equipment, and energy costs.
Because the cartridges move to the cleaning and repair terminal, rather than staff having to
board each plane, airports need far fewer staff and equipment, also reducing overall cost.
Since planes lose money and wear out faster when they sit on the ground, the 90% increase in
speed to take off saves billions of dollars for airlines.
Increased Safety
By reducing the size and complexity of airports, we eliminate many vulnerable points of
potential breach by nefarious actors. The smaller terminals required fewer staff and less
equipment to monitor.
Returning Land & Buildings to Cities
By significantly reducing the footprint of airports, cities regain massive amounts of land
they can use for urban farming, community spaces, housing, emergency shelters, and more.
