Jumbo jets strain airports as air travel speeds outpace facilities
Airliners disembark 300 to 400 passengers per arrival, highlighting crowded terminals and aging ground services. Airports struggle to match faster travel, causing longer waits and congestion on the ground despite quicker flights.
Solar power boom spreads from deserts to homes
The sun’s heat could replace coal and nuclear power, with innovations from India’s solar cookers to Japan’s rice cookers and America’s portable solar cookers. The Soviet Union claims mirrors reaching 3000 degrees Celsius for engines and melting metals. Factories, turbines, and solar furnaces in Font Romeu demonstrate high heat for industrial and space research, while homes in Arizona and a Greek island use solar collectors and heat storage to provide hot water and warmth.
