Heliport

摘要

Embodiments of a heliport incorporate commercial and residential spaces with a plurality of helipads at multiple levels or floors, within a multi-story building. In various embodiments, the helipads cantilever out from the sides of the building or may simply span between oppositely faced sides of adjacent building structures. In some embodiments, the helipads extend outwardly from aircraft hangers and from commercial and residential spaces that extend into the building from the rear of the helipad. Rooftops associated with embodiments of the heliport include control tower facilities and additional helipads.

1. A heliport comprising:
a building having a ground level portion, a roof level portion, and a plurality side portions that extend between the ground level portion and the roof level portion; the building includes a plurality of towers that extend upwardly from the ground level portion and are horizontally spaced-apart from one another by a distance that defines an open space between the plurality of towers; the plurality of towers each including a roof level portion, and a plurality side portions that extend between the ground level portion and the roof level portion; a first helipad platform extending outwardly from a side portion of at least two towers of the plurality of towers of the building; the first helipad platform including opposite end portions, opposite side portions, and at least one helipad defined by a set of helipad markings; the helipad platform extending between side portions of at least two towers of the plurality of towers, spanning the open space between the at least two towers of the plurality of towers, such that the side portions of the at least two of the plurality of towers extend upwardly from the opposite end portions of the helipad platform; the helipad positioned intermediate the opposite end portions of the helipad platform such that the helipad is suspended between and not atop either or both of the at least two towers of the plurality of towers; the helipad platform being positioned with respect to the building in a manner that allows the landing and take-off of vertical takeoff and landing aircraft from the helipad; and a second helipad platform extending outwardly from a side portion of the building; the second helipad platform including opposite end portions, opposite side portions, and at least one helipad defined by a set of helipad markings; the first helipad platform and second helipad platform being vertically aligned with one another in a spaced-apart relationship.
