Clearly meant as humor.
In a bunk, you'd be thinking inside the "box" ...  ;-)

You need a solid four feet above your head to not break your neck on the
roof in bad turbulence.  During turbulence, a bunk would your coffin.
So, pick an aisle seat instead of a window seat next time ...

On (some) couchette trains, there's something like a seat belt strapping
you into the bed.  I think it's intended more to prevent you from
falling out of the bed accidentally, but I suppose it would also prevent
you from getting thrown by turbulence.

I'm not convinced by Rod's argument, either.  The only thing that helps 
you in a really bad turbulence is a seat belt.  I wouldn't consider any 
aircraft seatings without seat belt, that's completely out of question 
anyways.  The further away the roof is, the faster you crash into it, 
because that's how accellerations work.  There are turbulences where the 
aircraft all the sudden can lose ~100m of height.  If you are flying 
through the aircraft, better hope the landing place is soft...

If hitting the roof is a real problem, the only way to make sure it 
doesn't kill you is to make it soft.  But the design I suggested does 
have more overall headroom than a normal aircraft: The handluggage goes 
underneath the lower bunk instead of above.  And in any case: You can 
reach the roof above you with your hands in a normal aircraft.  Unlike 
Rod, I'm not an Orang Utan, so I can't reach anything 4ft above my head.  
50cm is the maximum I can reach with my arms.  4ft would be 1.2m (I'm 
metric, imperial units don't make any sense to me).  No way.

The usual height of the overhead handluggage bins is around 1,60m, the 
usual height of the cabin is just a bit more than 2m.  I don't see the 
4ft headroom Rod needs - it just isn't there.  The absolute minimum 
height of a bunk is 60cm (2ft), anything less feels to crammed.  Which 
gives you about as much headroom as a normal upright seat (40cm).  For 
takeoff and landing, which seems to require an upright position, you 
have to fold the bunks into seats, which would move the upper bunks down 
a bit.

In any case: The roads in Vietnam are really bad and bumpy.  The sleeper 
busses sometimes get off the roads, which can be quite problematic for 
the people inside...  The old busses didn't have seat belts, they relied 
on Kuan Am (the godess of mercy, traffic, and female fertility) instead 
of seat belts... the new busses do have seat belts.

"The further away the roof is, the faster you crash into it,
because that's how accellerations[sic] work."

No, the further away it is, the longer it takes to get there.  So, if it's
further "away", you can't "crash into it" any sooner.  "Faster"
refers to velocity, not acceleration.  This universe is bounded by (at
least) four dimensions, one of which is time, which requires more time for
more distance.  You can crash into the ceiling with a higher rate of
acceleration the further away it is, but only if the plane is accelerating.
But, it's unknown whether the vertical acceleration of the airplane
is increasing, decreasing, or constant.

I'm 6ft tall.  That's not quite 2m.

Are you telling me I'm "scalping" myself by wearing shoes when walking down
an airplane aisle?  Anything less than foot or so to my head and I need to
"duck" - lowering my head.  I've never had that issue on airplanes.  I'd say
aisle to ceiling is close to 7ft, maybe more.  Is that what you meant by
"just a bit more than 2m"?

> I don't see the 4ft headroom Rod needs - it just isn't there.

I never said it was there.  I said 4ft or more ("solid") is needed.  That's
entirely different from 4ft is standard or available.

I don't know the exact dimensions, but my estimation puts the overhead space
at 2.5ft in for an aisle seat without an overhead luggage compartment.  In a
window seat, you might have 7 to 12 in. above your head to the bottom of the
overhead luggage compartment.

Most airlines require seatbelts for take-off, landing, and known turbulence.
It's the unknown turbulence that's the issue.  Most airlines allow you to
take your seatbelt off for periods of flight.  In those situations, you're
definately going to crash into the ceiling, without a seat belt, with bad
turbulence, no matter what seat you're in, but the aisle seat has far more
headroom.

An upright position for a bunk?  That entirely defeats reasons for using a
bunk: (more people) per (total volume).  You're just cargo ...

These are pedalled, as well...  I really think you are confusing them 
with wheelchairs.  There are some pretty speedy hands-only recumbent 
wheelchars, which have set records that put upright bikers with big legs

Some of the busses in Vietnam have half/half upright and beds inside.  
The upright places sell for less than half the price.  These busses are 
considerably older than the modern sleeper-only busses.  It looks like 
during the transition time from normal busses to sleeper busses some 
people have resisted the beds.  The action for an airline would be to 
first take out only half of the economy class seats, replace them with 
beds, and then let the customer decide.

It probably depends on how long your journey is.  With modern high-speed 
trains, especially in France, you get from everywhere to everywhere else 
in a few hours.  In China, where couchettes are the norm (though, when 
you book late on a full train, you get an upright seat, because they are 
the only ones left ;-), the new high-speed trains have normal upright 
seats only.

http://www.agrc.umd.edu/gamera/gamera2/gamera2-human-power.html
indicates a 20% power gain from the hand cranks in a human powered
helicopter.  That is pretty recent though; whatever it is that I
was thinking of is much older.  It does look like the famous
Gossamer Condor and Gossamer Albatross were pedal powered.

For non-business travel, most people I know just go for the lowest
possible fare and tolerate whatever inconvenience it brings.

I think the longest routes (is there still a Paris to Istanbul train?)
must still take a day or longer.

The truly wonderful thing about high-speed trains is what they *don't* 
have: airports. Dealing with airports adds 3-4 hrs to every flight, more 
if there are connections.

No.  The last remainder of the "Orient express" went just from 
Straßbourgh to Vienna until 2009.

You get long-distance trains in countries with poor population, like 
China (as I said, mostly sleeper trains, the wagons with seats are for 
passengers who only travel a few stops).  There, you can get a train 
tricket for a fraction of the price of a flight - then people use the 
trains.  In Germany, a long-distance train e.g. from Munich to Hamburg, 
can be more expensive than a flight - and that's a distance where the 
flight is only slightly faster (considering going to airports which are 
not very close to the city, security and boarding, etc., while the train 
stations still are in the city centers).  Paris to Istambul?  Three 
hours flight, way cheaper than the Orient express could be.

Oh well, that seems like a relatively recent and unnecessary change.  I
visited Europe in the 1990's and I rode the trains around a lot and I
thought they were one of the best parts.  I don't think flying has
gotten any better or cheaper since then, so there must have been a
change in priorities for some other reason.  Trains are slower than
flying, but far more energy efficient, and if you can get a good sleep
on an overnight train, then what's the advantage of getting there
faster?  You had to sleep someplace anyway--you may as well get two
things done at once.

The US train system (Amtrak) has always sucked and is about as bad now
as it has always been, but recently it has had an upsurge in popularity.
That's because flying has gotten so much worse (security crap etc.) that
the trains are now at a relative advantage.  Amtrak management
recognizes what is going on and are very much resisting the TSA attempts
to put airport-like measures into train stations.

Infrastructure for trains is expensive, of course, but also air fuel
doesn't carry any tax or duty.  This is an odd state of affairs, but
it's an international treaty that's hard to unwind.

It's not that easy to sleep on an overnight train!  Having said that,
I've travelled many times overnight and it's better than flying, for
sure.  With regard to the kinds of journeys I make, a train from
London to Amsterdam takes at least 4:40 (as opposed to 1:10 in the
air) but that's city centre to centre -- there's no travel to and from
airports.  Also, while trains are far from perfect, short-haul flights
are frequently delayed.  I'd rather take a laptop and a book and sit
on the train.

In any case, when you ride a bike, you should better asume you are 
invisible.  I'd say that more people see me on the recumbent than on an 
upright bike, but it's still 30% who don't see me at all (on neither 
bike).

Maybe for a quarter mile contest or so, yes; this might make sense.  
Most bicycle speed tests are maximum speed and that takes more than a 
quarter mile to reach.

That's not on the way (you are probably looking at a flat earth map), 
NYC is 9 hours flight time, and then another 5:30 hours across continent 
vs. 11 hours direct flight.  The earth is round, the "detour" over 
Greenland is really a shortcut.  Last possible stop is Reykjavik.

For business trips I travel with hand luggage only, that alone cuts the 
travel time by 2 hours.  It takes very careful consideration what you 
take with you.  Wearing anything better than a black turtleneck at Apple 
IMHO is offensively overdressed.

I heard the recumbant bike beats normal upright bike in most speed races.
Interesting metaphore.
Perhaps forth is like the recumbant.  Weird but fast?

Hmm, ok.  http://www.travelmath.com/flying-time/from/MUC/to/JFK says 8h
in either direction.  Anyway, I've flown from Europe to the eastern US
several times, but Europe to California nonstop only once, and that last
one seemed like an interminably long flight compared to the others.

10 hours is just what it takes. The aisles can be used for walking.
One puts up with it for the joy of emerging in a new country and/or
continent.

In my time, I've done a lot of intercontinental travel. IMHO and that
of many others, an indirect flight is a nightmare. The only real way
to reduce the pain is to pay for business class.

So true. The one real pain of living in Hawaii (which I do) is that it 
adds 5 hrs plus a connection to get to Europe (total typically ~18-20).

On the other hand, in theory we're a lot closer to Asia, NZ, and 
Australia. It's 9 hrs to Auckland, 10 to Sydney. But the major US 
airlines insist on routing you through LA or SF, which are 5 hrs in the 
wrong direction and runs the total up to ~24! The only hope is to go via 
Air New Zealand or Qantas, both of which have 2 or 3 nonstops from 
Honolulu each week.

Cheers,
Elizabeth
