to go out and buy a plane,
чтобы пойти и купить самолёт,
with computational fluid dynamics,

is create these simulations
in and taking readings in the plane.

the air goes in and out of the cabin,

the computer calculates the simulation.

with the conventional cabin is this:

at the same scenario
passenger sneezes,

to infect any other people.
sitting next to the middle guy
no pathogens at all.
if the middle passenger sneezes,
в случае с пассажиром посередине,
passenger sneezes

this mean for the world?
приносит данное решение?
into real life,
