These specialized vehicles, known as mobile lounges and Plane Mates, were integral to architect Eero Saarinen's vision for efficient passenger movement at Dulles International Airport. The system was designed to eliminate long walking distances by bringing passengers directly from the terminal to their aircraft or satellite concourses. These transporters feature hydraulic lifting capabilities, allowing them to dock directly with aircraft or raised terminals, and can carry large groups of passengers along with their carry-on luggage. While many airports have shifted to fixed train systems, Dulles continues to utilize these mobile lounges alongside its newer AeroTrain system, maintaining a unique aspect of its original innovative design.
