Aerodrome structure
An aerodrome structure 100 comprising a primary landing pad 120 for a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft, the primary landing pad located in an upper plane and comprising a radially inner platform 130 and a radially outer platform 140. The inner diameter of the outer platform abuts the outer diameter of the inner platform such that the outer platform circumscribes and abuts the inner platform. There is a roof structure radially outside the outer platform, and a lift mechanism configured to lower the inner platform between the upper plane and a lower level. The outer diameter of the outer platform is at least 1.1 times that of the inner platform. There may be a secondary, static, landing pad 150 offset from the primary on the upper plane. The roof may extend to the upper level and may have a pitched portion. There may be zones around the landing pad that may be aircraft bays 160 on the lower level. There may be an aircraft transit area to facilitate movement of aircraft between the aircraft bay and the inner platform when it is lowered.
