This new landing concept have the same time that the conventional descent approach

There is a time coming when there will be Space-Hotels where the space flights dock, then wait for the earth's rotation below the Space-Hotel and then these Space-Craft will then land at an airfield of its choice. Makes no sense to burn jet fuel for hours just to get from point A to point B. Welcome to the common sense world of traveling.

> Meanwhile, Congress and the airlines are still bickering about who will foot the bill for the new system, expected to cost perhaps as much as $20 billion to implement.
The airlines just need to accept the cost, which they're going to pass along to passengers anyway. Why should the general public pay for it, since they're not the ones flying? Add a (grrrrr) "GPS infrastructure fee" to the cost of every ticket.

I understand that Continuous Descents come to replace Tear Drops and Parallel Entry. This will be a very good decision!
Please tell if I am wrong.

Congratulations to the FAA for "allowing" the trial of a landing concept (continuous glide slope) that's been around (but unused) for 30 or so years, as has another approach/landing concept developed by Boeing in the early OPEC days that lies unused because of industry apathy. Continuously modulated approach/landing flap extension, as contrasted to 2 or 3 discrete settings, was tried on the 727-200 as a noise abatement and fuel reducer when OPEC launched the world into fuel cost awareness in 1973. It would have to be automated to make it workable, but it's there for anyone willing to use it. (It should be noted that minimizing approach and landing fuel use, while not to be sneered at, is kind of the tail wagging the dog because it's a minor contributor to trip fuel.
