What is the most valuable thing in the modern world? This is Time. Time becomes a new resource, new oil.
Global climate change, crises in society and the economy make us value time. The man of the future cannot afford to spend several hours waiting for his flight at the airport. A person does not need a green park at the airport for a more pleasant waiting, a person only needs to fly in the direction he needs and not spend a second waiting. A person needs a Time Machine that will save him his precious time.
Our proposed concept solves this problem. We propose to create the airport of the future not as a building, but as a superstructure consisting of thousands of spherical intelligent robots. Each such robot is a living cell in the body of the airport of the future. This whole organism is controlled by artificial intelligence based on neural network technology. The result is a huge supercomputer the size of an airport! There are no premises, runways, waiting areas, duty-free and other outdated things in it. The neural network simultaneously controls the landing, takeoff, acceptance and departure of passengers, the movement of air transport within its structure. All this is in consolidated movement, allowing you to perform thousands of operations at the same time.
Passengers get to the airport by superhigh-speed transport Hyperloop. Check-in for the flight takes place online during the trip. At the airport itself, people are transferred to ready-made air transport, taking into account the occupancy of the cabin, the destination and the time of arrival.
Since the airport is a supercomputer with artificial intelligence, it is engaged not only in its main function, the organization of flights. In consequence of to its "living cells" spherical robots, which are also mini laboratories, the neural network collects big data about everything that surrounds it: soil, groundwater, seismic activity, flora and fauna, air, vital signs of passengers and much more.
Thus, the airport is moving to a completely different level of development. This is no longer a building where people fly in on Boeings and where you have to wander aimlessly around duty free while waiting for your flight, this is a superorganism whose raison d'être is to save our time.
