A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
An airport is provided which is compact and which is such as to facilitate efficient movements of aircraft into and out of parked positions and to also facilitate movements of passengers. Aircraft can be moved in a forward direction both when entering and when exiting each parked position. Loading/unloading means include escalators that move passengers between underground gate areas and landings at about ground level and also include ramp structures that can move passengers between the landings and openings in the fuselage of a parked aircraft. Structures illuminate gate areas and landings of the loading/unloading means and extend above ground level but such structures and the ramp structures are so designed that neither interferes with movements of aircraft into and out of parked positions. The parked positions can be located in rows with aisles between such rows for movement of aircraft. The gate areas underlie and correspond to the parked positions and are thereby located in rows with aisles between rows for movements of passengers to and from and between gate areas. Passengers can thereby move through minimal distances either when departing or when arriving and either exiting the airport or moving between gate areas to depart on another aircraft.
