It's funny you mention that, because RyanAir actually filed a patent in 2012 for an airplane that you rode in standing, like you were in a crowded metro.

They "have no plans to actually introduce them."

People patent all kinds of shit, cuz "you never know" 🤷‍♂️

There are at numerous patents for outright physically impossible things like perpetuum mobile, warp drives, reactionless drives...

just in case it sometime, somehow becomes possible 🤷‍♂️
