Uber plans to launch a flying vehicle by 2023, which of course also needs a place to land. The company therefore presented six design concepts for a car landing at the annual conference, from which they will choose the best one.
At the American giant, the architects were previously presented with the conditions that high-tech landing sites must meet. Their area can be up to 3 acres or something more than 12,000 square meters. They have to provide transportation every hour at least 4000 passengers, and at the same time work environmentally friendly.
Which landing is the most convenient for you?
Uber Hover - Humpreys & Partners
The architects got the inspiration for the new facility from a beehive. Each floor can accommodate 900 passengers in one hour. Renewable materials contribute to the fact that the ecosystem itself obtains the necessary energy.
The Hive – Beck Group
The airport is suitable for 150 takeoffs and landings per hour.
Sky Tower – Pickard Chilton and Arup
The building consists of several towers that rise high into the sky and can handle 180 takeoffs and landings with 1,800 passengers every hour.
Connect - Corgan
As part of the large airport, the architects want to establish a special network that will be built above the highway.
The Paw - Gannett Fleming
Fleming's idea consists of a large number of round landing platforms. As many as 52 electric vehicles will be able to take off and land at each of the bases every hour.
Skyport Prototype - BOKA Powell
The last of the six concepts impresses with landing bases at different heights.
