The Silent Skies of Aerovault

The world had waited decades for the perfect airliner, and Aerovault had finally built it. Gone were the days of cramped aisles, crying babies, and the dreaded middle seat. This was the AV-1 Solitude, the first aircraft where every passenger boarded simultaneously and never saw, heard, or smelled another human being until they reached their destination.

It wasn’t just an airplane—it was a revolution in travel.

The Boarding Process: Instantaneous and Seamless

The AV-1 Solitude had no jet bridges. Instead, the aircraft sat atop a massive boarding platform with a honeycomb-like structure underneath. Each of the 400 passenger pods was loaded from below, rising into place like capsules in a futuristic vending machine. Upon arrival, the same system would lower passengers directly onto waiting transport vehicles or walkways—no more chaotic deplaning.

There were no assigned seats. Instead, passengers were directed to their designated boarding spots, where they stepped into their own self-contained travel pod.

The Ultimate Personal Pod: A Private Jet Experience for Everyone

Each pod was a soundproofed, pressurized micro-cabin, designed to give the experience of flying in a private jet—without the price tag. The walls were equipped with OLED screens simulating windows (or, for the anxious, showing nothing at all).

Inside, passengers could customize their experience:
✅ Sleep Mode: The pod’s lighting dimmed, the seat reclined into a lie-flat bed, and a gentle hum of white noise played.
✅ Entertainment Mode: A holographic display projected any movie, game, or virtual workspace.
✅ Work Mode: The pod transformed into an office in the sky, complete with a fold-out desk, high-speed satellite internet, and noise-canceling environment.

Food and drinks were pre-selected before boarding. A zero-contact delivery system within the pod provided meals and drinks on demand—no carts, no interruptions.

No Interaction, No Problems

The AV-1 was designed for absolute isolation:

🔵 No crying babies. Infants traveled in specially pressurized family pods with soundproof barriers.
🔵 No rude neighbors. Every passenger had their own temperature control, lighting preferences, and air filtration.
🔵 No flight attendants knocking on your pod. Requests were handled by AI attendants via touchscreens, with robotic arms delivering amenities.

Even the bathroom situation was solved. Each pod had a built-in, airline-style compact lavatory—a private space for the duration of the flight. For longer hauls, an automated waste collection system discreetly refreshed the unit without requiring passengers to leave their seats.

A Crewless Cabin: The First Fully Automated Airliner

AV-1 Solitude didn’t need flight attendants. It didn’t even have a traditional cockpit. Pilots operated the aircraft remotely from a ground control center, monitoring multiple flights at once. An onboard AI system made real-time adjustments for turbulence, rerouting, and emergencies.

In case of a critical failure, emergency escape pods were built into the fuselage. If the aircraft was compromised, each passenger pod could detach and deploy a parachute, guiding travelers safely to the ground.

The Launch of the Future

When Aerovault’s first commercial AV-1 flight took off from New York to Tokyo, it changed air travel forever. Reviews were glowing:

✈️ "It felt like teleportation. I boarded, relaxed, and woke up in Japan with no stress."
✈️ "No one sneezed on me. No one kicked my seat. No one existed but me. Perfect."
✈️ "I didn’t have to fake-smile at a single human. Five stars."

Within a year, every major airline was phasing out traditional aircraft in favor of the Solitude. The era of shared cabins, seatmate small talk, and crying babies at 30,000 feet was over.

Aerovault had done the impossible.

They had built the perfect airplane.
