The airport barrier to stick out flying machines

In this article I'll be talking about the problems we face with winged airplanes and spinning bladed helicopters. The winged airplanes that we have now have been around for over 100 years they went from retro propeller wooden cloth frame winged airplanes to big turbine winged jets. They have made improvements on winged airplane but they have one thing in common constant forward flight in the sky and the dependency on airports. Also This is the problem with winged airplanes. For one thing the 2 wings stick out of the sides like winged birds have that leaves it exposed to dangers on the left and right side of the winged airplane. Another problem at the airport is the airport barriers that confine winged airplanes on the ground due to the 2 wings sticking out. If that wasn't bad enough you have to drive in a wheel car all the way to the airport like the Provo airport and Salt Lake City Utah airport and leave your wheel car behind. Then you have pay for an expensive plane ticket and pay to park your wheel car. Then you have to let security handle your personal luggage and the strict rules of what you can bring and what not to bring. Also they scan you to make sure you don't carry any dangerous weapons when boarding the big winged plane. Then you have to wait around for a winged airplane which can get delayed or canceled or you miss your flight. Once the winged airplane gets here you have to show your ticket to the plane conductor and sit in your seat. Then you have to wait in your seat for 10 minutes or more for the flight announcer to tell you they're ready for takeoff. First the big winged airplane has to roll on wheels and be in a position on the road runway. Then they speed it down on the runway for a horizontal diagonal takeoff and fly up in the sky. The dangerous part about winged airplanes is you have to fly forward constantly without any airbrakes or backing up while in the sky or you'll stall and be at the mercy of Earths gravity of 32 feet per second and you have evade obstacles like tall buildings canyons and mountains and other winged planes and pull up which can cause pilots to panic. Also the bad weather like lightning, rain, wind, snow storms can threaten to rip the 2 wings off. When you want to land you have to aim your landing at the road runway and do the diagonal horizontal landing and hope that you don't smash into stuff on the runway. After the winged plane lands then you get out to another airport. Then you have to wait for a wheel car ride or a wheel bus ride or rent a wheel car which costs even more money. Also the pilot has to park the winged plane in the wide hanger garage due to the fact that the 2 wings on a airplane stick way out to the sides making it a smacking hazard on the highway or freeway even in town so that's another reason why they're held back by airport barriers. Also to note that on a winged airplane ride you have to put up with people talking too loud or screaming, or being annoying or being mean. Sure you do get some snacks from an airport waiter or waitress but overall it's gets too hectic to handle on some days you fly. Now about the spinning bladed helicopter it's a perfect flying machine because you can fly in all 6 directions, air brake, backup and hover in midair except one problem, it's also not street legal, the reason why it's not street legal is because of the poking blade hazards it would cause on the highway, freeway, and in town because the main rotor blades would poke into wheel vehicles, smack into poles and even people and you can't fit it into your house garage. Nor can you low hover because the spinning blades would chop into power lines, vehicles, grounded buildings, trees and other stuff. Also a helicopter is noisy like 100 dB and up which is too loud for our ears to handle, it's not always stable because it can flip over by strong wind, it can consume too much gasoline fuel, it's 2 times slower than a winged airplane, rescue missions are always tricky to do especially when saving a person from a tall building or a cliff due to the spinning blade hazards which requires a rope, or a chair lifter that's let down from the helicopter. That's the problems we still face with today's stick out flying machine.
