Yes, with the V/STOL (vertical/short take-off and landing) Option the new Boeing 767-8 Intercity can be the largest aircraft and the only passenger aircraft of the world with vertical/short take-off and landing capability... The technology is simple: inside of the cargo space huge balloons can be blown up by helium gas from high-pressure bottles - and these balloons filled with helium rise the airplane in the air... Thereafter the jet-engines can be started and the Boeing 767-8 Intercity can reach its destination like any other airplane (in the meantime the helium-balloons are retracted again)...
The V/STOL Option of the Boeing 767-8 Intercity makes the usage of runways absolutely unnecessary as the aircraft can land and take-off on the apron of any airport... This way the growing number of airplanes does not require the construction of new runways and the extension of airports... So the Boeing 767-8 Intercity can be one of the greenest passenger aircraft of the world, too...
Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team
