The indoor helicopter landing pad project of Mengtai Group is an innovative and technologically advanced project. Here is the relevant information for you:
Project Overview
The indoor take-off and landing apron of this helicopter can realize the conversion of helicopters between indoor and outdoor operations. It is generally located inside large buildings, solving the problem of insufficient take-off and landing space for helicopters in situations such as tight urban space and limited building height. At the same time, it also provides a relatively safe, concealed, and unaffected parking and take-off and landing environment for helicopters.
Main Structure and Principle
- lifting platformUsing a large scissor type or other type of hydraulic lifting mechanism, similar to the structure composed of multiple cross arms in the picture, driven by a hydraulic system, it can smoothly carry the helicopter for vertical lifting and lowering movements. The hydraulic system can control the speed and position of lifting, ensuring the safety of the lifting process.
- Fixed and locking deviceAfter reaching the designated location (indoor parking space or outdoor takeoff and landing space) on the apron platform, there are specialized fixing and locking devices to stabilize the platform, prevent shaking or displacement during helicopter takeoff and landing, and ensure safety.
- control systemEquipped with an automated control system, operators can control the lifting and lowering operations of the apron through computers or control panels. They can also monitor the operating status of equipment, hydraulic system pressure, platform position and other parameters in real time. In case of abnormalities, they can promptly alarm and take corresponding measures.
Application scenarios and advantages
- Business applicationsFor large enterprise groups, hotels and other places, it is convenient for important business people to quickly arrive by helicopter, improve travel efficiency and corporate image, and reduce the impact of ground traffic congestion on travel.
- emergency rescueIn emergency situations such as high-rise building fires, medical emergencies, etc., helicopters can quickly take off and land through indoor landing pads to carry out rescue operations. Compared to traditional rescue methods, they can arrive at the scene faster and save valuable rescue time.
- High security: The indoor environment can provide protection for the helicopter, avoid the damage to the body caused by bad weather (such as rainstorm, gale, hail, etc.), and extend the service life of the helicopter. Meanwhile, the relatively enclosed indoor space facilitates security control and ensures the safety of helicopters and personnel.
Challenges and Solutions Faced
- Engineering Technology ChallengeTo carry the weight of the helicopter and ensure smooth lifting, high requirements are placed on the structural strength and hydraulic system stability of the lifting platform. The solution is to use high-strength materials to manufacture the platform structure, conduct strict testing and optimized design of the hydraulic system, and equip multiple safety devices such as backup hydraulic systems and anti fall devices.
- Noise and vibration controlHelicopter takeoff and landing can generate significant noise and vibration, which may affect normal activities within the building. By installing shock absorbers between the apron platform and the building structure, implementing noise reduction measures for helicopter engines, and optimizing takeoff and landing procedures, the impact can be reduced.
- Regulations and approvalsThe construction of indoor helicopter landing pads requires compliance with a series of regulatory requirements in aviation management, building safety, and other aspects, with a complex approval process. Enterprises need to closely communicate with relevant departments, design, construct, and inspect in accordance with regulatory standards to ensure that projects are legal and compliant.
