The Collins Aerospace SkyNook concept designed for the last row of a widebody aircraft.

The helos give them a straight shot from the deck to the medical bay. If they boated over they’d have to walk a lot more on the ship.

The Orion capsule floating in the ocean waiting for the stabilization collar and “Front porch” to be attached to the astronauts can exit.

“Folks, they’re having a little trouble getting the jet bridge into position, but we hope to have you off the aircraft shortly. Thank you for your patience.”
