USA Today cover story

On Monday, the biggest newspaper of the States, USA Today, brought a cover story titled: 'Concern grows over jet-caused pollution' with Jim Starry mentioned under the sub-headline 'No easy solutions'. John Kasarda with his Aerotropolis 'Airports as Cities' concept is also mentioned. I am proud to tell here that when I read the Fast Company article in July/August 06 'Rise of the Aerotropolis' - see http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/107/aerotropolis.html - I tried to connect John Kasarda with Jim Starry. After some hiccups, happily this happened, and the new year could see the beginning of a promising match. Stay tuned.

StarrPort

We promote the American inventor Jim Starry and his StarrPort. This 'Green Airport' has an incline to gently stop a landing airplane. The terminal is under the tarmac, no taxiing is needed. When the airplane leaves, it is accellerating on a decline. This concept saves 1.000 gallons of fuel with every flight, one million gallons of fuel at an average airport every day! Less noise, much less pollution and huge savings in travelling distances at the airport.
