 A free Flight to Dubai
A twenty-three-year-old Dutch student has enjoyed a short
but unexpected holiday in Dubai. Mr. Frank Vreede, a business
student, had taken a part-time job at Schiphol Airport to help
pay for his studies. He worked as a baggage handler and was
responsible for loading the suitcases into the hold of
passenger planes.
Last Friday night, after an exhausting day in the university
library preparing for his final exams. Frank was loading a plane
at the airport. He was waiting for the nest baggage truck to
arrive and he felt tired. He decided to have a quick rest, so he
sat down in the hold of the plane and shut his eyes – just for a
moment.

However, while he was sleeping, the plane took off. An hour

later, Frank woke up and was horrified to discover that the plane

was in the air. There was a terrible noise from the engines, and he

tried not to panic. It was dark, uncomfortable and every, very

cold. Frank knew the flight would be long because it was an airline

from the Middle East. He also knew he could not survive the

freezing temperatures. It was an impossible situation.

He decided to make as much noise as possible. He
banged on the ceiling of the baggage hold and
shouted at the top of his voice. Luckily, a passenger
heard the noise and called a flight attendant, who
immediately informed the pilot. Once the captain
understood what was happening. He ordered hot air
to be pumped into the hold.

Everyone’s been so kind; said Mr. Vreede. ‘I’m really
enjoying my stay in Dubai and I’m getting a lot of rest,
so I won’t fall asleep on the job again!’ when Frank
returned to Schiphol Airport on Monday, his friends
and relatives were overjoyed to see him. ‘When he
didn’t come home after his evening shift on Friday, I
called to airport – but nobody had seen him for hours,
‘ his mother said to reporters.
Frank explained that he was very luck because it
is possible to die of cold in the hold of an
aircraft. He apologized to his boss for sleeping
at work instead of working, and promised it
would not happen again. ‘During the flight I was
petrified. I thought I was going to die!’ said Mr.
Vreede. ‘I wouldn’t want to do it again. Next
time, I’ll catch a regular flight!’

 Technology Today
The Silent Plane
Annoyance from aeroplane noise could be
a thing of the past as plans are announced to
design a silent aircraft.
The aim is to reduce the noise from a plane
so that city-dwellers will no longer hear it
passing overhead once it has left the airport.

2- The aim of silent aircraft is to increase plane’s

noise. (X)

3- People will no longer hear noise of plane ( )

 Technology Today
The noise reduction will be achieved in three main ways.

Firstly, the plane is being designed as a single, wide wing.

Secondly, the engines will be placed above the wing, inside the

plane, rather than under the wings and outside, and thirdly the

airplane will be flown differently, for example at a reduced speed

when it is near the airport the aircraft is just a design concept at

the moment and many technological challenges will have to be

met before we have silent planes overhead.
