Definitions

• the invention relates to a radial structure for landing, parking, take-off for helicopters and other air vehicles requiring similar conditions, characterized by a very large capacity for a very limited surface area grip.
• the invention aims to achieve a Radial Structure in which access to the parking area, helicopters and other air vehicles requiring similar conditions, can be done without having to have unnecessarily large maneuvering areas.
• the Radial Structure according to the invention is equipped with a large freight elevator which can move vertically along an infrastructure bringing together two or more superimposed platforms, the latter being able to be erected from ground level. or above the ground or underground.
• each of these platforms constitutes a parking and take-off area, for one or more helicopters or other air vehicles
• the last platform located at the top constitutes a landing area for said vehicles.
• a feature of the invention lies in the fact that any landing, being carried out on the platform of the summit, is marked by semi-integrated luminous or non-luminous marks indicating diametrically the axis in which the helicopter must undergo manual or towed rotation so that it is positioned according to the available parking areas located below the landing platform.
• Figure 1 is a vertical elevation whose section lines indicate the non-limitation in height of the radial structure for landing, parking and takeoff for helicopters and other air vehicles requiring similar conditions according to the invention.
• Figure 2 is a plan geometry of the platform at the top of the radial structure incorporating, in its center, a large freight elevator serving all of the parking and take-off platforms located below.
• FIG. 3 is a plan geometry, the radiating surfaces of which, around the large freight elevator, systematically present areas intended for parking and areas remaining free in a juxtaposed manner.
• the parking areas can be added to the areas which remain free in order to constitute sufficient lateral areas for takeoff, taking into account that the tail of the helicopters must undergo manual or towed rotation for good lateral positioning.
• the latter represented in FIG. 2 by the general references (1) and (1 ′) does not plan to leave in short time periods and must therefore use the parking areas on the lower platforms, the latter represented in FIG. 3 by the reference (3), there is therefore a need to position the body or fuselage of the helicopter according to a axis defined by two opposite and semi-recessed luminous or non-luminous references represented in FIG. 2 by the diametrically opposite references in (2).
• the internal volume determined by the supporting peripheral structures represented in FIG. 1 by the reference (9), depending on whether one removes, inside said volume, a greater or lesser number of partition walls, can be used for various habitable functional destinations such as, by way of nonlimiting example: air traffic control center, medical emergencies, public and para-public services, firefighters, police, dwellings, hotels, conference or leisure center, private apartments, offices , urban surveillance or maritime surveillance, fight against terrorism in the context of events such as Olympic Games, exhibitions ...
• the parking areas represented in FIG. 3 by the reference (3), provide an excess surface for the parking of a helicopter and therefore allows long-term repairs, both around the vehicle and in its upper part. thanks to the margin of free space provided by the inclination of the supporting peripheral structure, the latter shown in FIG. 1 generally by the reference (9), supporting the upper platform.
• the interventions necessary for maintenance or repairs in the lower part of the vehicle are made easy by removing the hatches which constitute the floor of the parking-take-off areas represented in FIG. 3 by the references (3) and (4).
• These parking areas are located above the roof of the peripheral structure, represented in FIG. 1 generally by the reference (9). This amounts to saying that the repairer uses the recess shown in FIG.
• the soil, from which the radial structure emerges, represented generally in FIG. 1 by the reference (14), or the subsoil, represented generally in FIG. 1 by the reference (15 ), can be used for fueling and storing various fuel required for helicopters and other air vehicles.
• This invention can be used: as a radiant structure in the business districts of cities thus allowing a direct relationship from the airports - as a radiant structure above the ground used to decongest decongest cities from road networks and other traditional modes of transport - as a radiant structure for a large capacity helipad above ground, on the ground or in the basement, presenting according to these three cases, the advantage of a small footprint on the ground surface - as a prestigious radial structure within the framework of a universal exhibition or of Olympic games or other temporary events or permanent necessities - as a radial structure integrating various services public: fire safety, air traffic control, urban police, maritime police, medical emergencies, various public, para-public or private offices, various accommodation, hotel services, etc.
• radial structure integrating community services: gatherings for conferences or tele-audio-meetings of equipment and various materials for storing or exchanging foodstuffs and various products associated with extra-community exchanges by helicopter or airborne transport - as a radial structure integrating leisure activities such as: hotels, restaurants, cultural events, various entertainment, etc.
