Psh. If I can drive in 2 dimensions with more vehicles in a smaller area, then pilots oughta be fine with 3 dimensions and a lower vehicle density.

The problem is you don’t have to collide to have a problem. The wake turbulence created by a 747 means no planes can occupy the area directly behind it for 4-6 miles, depending on the following plane’s weight. And that 4-6 mile zone is invisible.
