Moving Lounges of Dulles
Once seen as a critical element in ensuring efficiency in the nation's aviation mobility infrastructure, Dulles Airport's “People Movers” were part of a grand vision that involved transporting airline passengers directly from the ticketing area to their aircraft.
Once a critical element in ensuring efficient aviation mobility, Dulles Airport's “People Movers” were part of a grand vision that transported airline passengers directly from the ticketing area to their aircraft.
The system failed to scale with the advent of the 747 and other jumbo jets. Yet, it is inspiring to see the macro-level thinking that inspired a system envisioned to rise to the jet age and beyond, as captured in the promotional film from 1958.
However, the modular concept and convenience of conveyance underpin even today’s successful mobility-on-demand services. Modern airports achieve this via moving walkways, trams, shuttle buses, and carts. The means of delivery may have changed, but the value of the point-to-point mobility concept remains anchored in human need, which persists today.
An underground air train system now services terminals with greater efficiency. The original concept fell short of the compelling storytelling that the masters of design, Charles and Ray Eames, are known for. As with many notable moments in mobility, concepts from over 60 years ago can seem quaint or quirky.
