Jumbo Boarding Area On Wheels Introduction of the jumbo jets in the 1970’s will also confront the world airports with the problem of expediting loading and deplaning of the increased passenger traffic. The Budd Company came up with PlaneMate, a new proposed system for transporting airline passengers between terminals and airplanes. In a special air supported structure at the Philadelphia International Airport it was hailed as a “significant new development expected to alleviate ground congestion’ problems airlines now face — and to enable multimillion dollar savings in airport terminal construction costs.” The sleek 25-ton vehicle can accomodate approximately 100 to 150 passengers. While design and engineering are new, the craft will use generally available proven components and subsystems, minimizing maintenance costs and allowing larger sums to be applied to other aspects of the critical air congestion problem. Base price will be about $200,000. . Budd President Philip: W. Scott and VicePresident Planning Aaron’J. Gellman are shown left above with a model and mockup of the new groundsupport equipment aimed to ease the arrival and departure and arrival of 275 to 400 passengers at a time. Since Plane-Mate is. adaptable to most present day airports, it will eliminate the difficulty otherwise encountered in attempting to design terminals for a wide variety of aircraft and reduce or eliminate the number of telescoping or loading devices now being used and allow separation of flow of enplaning or deplaning passengers where full advantage of its multilevel capabilities are exploited.

Aim of the program is to stimulate educators to find new ways to help handicapped boys and girls gain new physical and mental capability plus, of course, gains in school and behavior.
