Airports are getting busier, even in a Europe grappling with downturn and austerity. All the major regions are improving
Air traffic control and airport management will also be revolutionised as digital technology makes aircraft easier to manage.
and only airport capacity would constrain us. The stuff of science fiction? Not exactly. British aerospace flew an aircraft remotely to Inverness in Scotland this summer in a Civil aviation Authority-supported experiment.
and it will be some time before mixed-mode airports that can operate both spacecraft and aircraft become possible.
#which may mean our airports will have to be redesigned to make them useable by these different designs.
The futuristic visions of the 1950s and 60s imagined neighbourhood airports and helicopters in our back gardens-but space travel is more likely.
Currently these pods are operational at Heathrow Airport; enabling passengers to easily travel between terminals and car parks.

and feeds from existing airport systems bringing them all into one place. Any big airport could benefit from it.
It could deliver information to a single user, could have the opportunity to bring synergies across lots of systems,
and monitor these systems on an ongoing basis."The airport operator programmes the system to make connections between data sources and highlight potential threats in real time.
The technology could make screening bags and passengers at airports less intrusive. It also has the potential to inspect food and even scan for tumors.
The other thing we see at airports is the use of swabs to check for explosive residue

#Quantum'entangled'light sharpens microscopes'images The first microscope that uses the eerie trick of quantum entanglement to increase its sensitivity has been developed by Japanese researchers.
But longer, microwave wavelengths#for applications such as airport scanners#require a different approach, because there are no materials that can serve as micromirrors in that part of the spectrum.

#More Indian Airports Set to Go Solar Recently, the Kochi airport in the south Indian state of Kerala switched to solar power
and created headlines across the world. Now, another airport is set to adopt solar power to meet a majority of its power needs.
The Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose airport in Kolkata will have a utility-scale solar power project of 15 to 20 MW capacity.
The project will be set up over a 55 acres area and would meet 60%of the airport power needs.
The airport authorities will soon launch tender for the implementation of the project with financial resources worth $20 million already having been allocated for the project.
The project will be able to meet the entire demand of the airport during the day,
but during the night the airport would be required to purchase power from the grid. The Airports Authority of India (AAI) recently announced that major airports in the western state of Rajasthan would also set up solar power projects to meet a part of their power demand.
The Jaipur airport already has a 100 kw rooftop solar power system and is planning to set up a 1. 8 MW ground-based power project.
Airports at Jodhpur Jaisalmer, and Bikaner are also planning to set up rooftop projects. Other Indian airports have also set up solar power projects to meet a part of the demand,
as well as earn additional revenue. Delhi Indira Gandhi International airport, operated by GMR Infrastructure, has a solar power project registered under the Renewable energy Certificates schemes.
Large commercial and industrial consumers in India are increasingly looking to set up renewable energy projects to meet their power demand,
instead of relying on traditional supply from utilities. Power tariffs levied by utilities have been increasing rapidly,

#In Sweden Remote-control Airport Is A Reality As our plane touches down in Sundsvall Sweden the horizon is all snow and ice.
But this airport actually has two air traffic control centers. The second one is just a short walk from the airport runway.
Inside a ground-floor windowless room there's a display that looks exactly like what you'd see out of an air traffic control tower.
You can see the snowy runway you can see the trees you can even see a car pulling into the airport parking lot.
And the airport you're looking at isn't the one in Sundsvall. It's the one in Ornskoldsvik Sweden#about 105 miles away.
Ornskoldsvik is the first airport in the world to land passenger planes remotely. This summer an airport in Leesburg Va. will become the first American airport to use the new technology.
Erik Backman runs the remote airplane landing center in the town of Sundsvall. He explains that the town of Ornskoldsvik has a tiny airport
and it's expensive to keep air traffic controllers there who spend hours with no planes to land.
The day you have one air traffic controller who can control two airports then you have some good benefits according to costs Backman says.
And that might make this technology useful even for big crowded airports. Anders Carp is head of traffic management at Saab the Swedish defense
