PURPOSE:To make a floating airport and to tow this airport to a desired place at sea for use, by laying and fixing an airplane landing deck to the upper side of large-sized floating substances at both sides and monolithically forming an anti-rolling sub-float at both sides of said large-sized floating substances. CONSTITUTION:An approximately rectangular deck 2 suitable for the landing and taking-off of an airplane is laid on and fixed to the upper side of two large-sized main floats 1 separated from each other at a suitable interval. And small-sized sub-floats 3 for anti-rolling are arranged at the outside of the main floats 1 when necessary. A floating airport according to this invention comprises not only the combination of said main and sub-floats 1 and 3 and deck 2, but also a floating ship's hull as a hangar. Therefore, the floating airport so constituted can be taken in tow at sea and anchored at a suitable place for use. In an emergency, said airport can be outfitted for use as an aircraft carrier.
