I believe in VTOL passenger planes. The reason is that it takes several hours to fly from one destination to another. However it takes more to get to and from an airport, wait for to take off, wait for the luggage … We have to come up with a transportation system to optimize the overall time not the time on air.
VTOL plane would utilize 3 or 5 engines. 1 at the back and the rest on the wings. Engines would have thrust vectoring for VTOL. LOX (liquid oxygen) would be used to boost thrust at take off. The luggage would be carried in cages underneath the plane and automatically transferred to the basement underneath the plane's landing point. Passengers get their luggage from the basement without a carousel and leave the VTOL airport.
