That is very creative. I think we should do a feasibility study on it, to see it if is worth looking into.

Airline Fuel Saver Idea

This isn't a new idea. Systems were developed over a century ago, but today big oil and the automotive industries are blocking modern applications.
From the Mighty Wiki:
- 1844–54: Dublin and Kingstown Railway's Dalkey Atmospheric Railway between Kingstown (Dún Laoghaire) and Dalkey, Ireland (1.75 mi [2.82 km])
- 1846–47: London and Croydon Railway between Croydon and New Cross, London, England (7.5 mi [12.1 km])
- 1847–48: Isambard Kingdom Brunel's South Devon Railway between Exeter and Newton Abbot, England (20 mi [32 km])
- 1847–60: Paris–Saint-Germain railway between Bois de Vésinet and Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France (2 km [1.2 mi])
Airline Fuel Saver Idea
Something my dad said many many years ago could perhaps be adapted to everyday flight
On a flight to Italy in a huge thunder storm the plain was rattling and shaking. People genuinely looked worried. My dad being the kind, reassuring guy he is called out "don't worry, if the wings fall off we can all put our arms through the windows and flap".
It was of course a joke in terrible taste but perhaps it can be utilised to save fuel using human powered flight. Maybe participants can get a discount on the price of the ticket.
