A West Texas company says it's found a remarkably simple way to slash air cargo costs as much as 65% – by having planes tow autonomous, cargo-carrying gliders behind them, big enough to double, or potentially triple their payload capacity.
Don’t worry, in the event of a malfunction you can just detach the cargo, so now you have two apartment building sized things falling from the sky to completely unpredictable random locations squishing anything they land on top of.
Anyone who has read a single NTSB accident report will understand what an insane idea this is.
Elaborate?
You’re towing a bunch of cargo into the crash site.
Imagine miraculously surviving the plane crash only to get twatted by a crate full of dildos from the cargo vehicle.
Go on… 🥵
