Abstract
A foldable conveyer system is disclosed appropriate for loading and unloading an airplane using two people. In one embodiment, the foldable conveyer system is formed of a plurality of foldable sections, where each section has a first half and a second half foldably connected to each other. Each first half and each second half has reversible tension-controlled conveyer belts for moving luggage into or out of an aircraft. When fully deployed, and thus operating flat along the interior of an aircraft, the foldable conveyer system operates to move luggage and other objects placed on the foldable conveyer system in a selected direction.
