How many people do you think enter/exit JFK arrivals and departures every hour? Where are you going to land all those air vehicles? Is this a shuttle service with many seats? How do you plan for the air traffic for that many people?
- fragmede 5mo agoThose are all reasonable questions, but if some entity would be able to answer them, of all things, I think JFK, an airport, would be well equipped to handle them.
- Dylan16807 5mo agoAbout 7000 on average, but let's say 10000 since demand varies. And let's consider doing 10% of them with helicopters. If we average 3 people per helicopter, that's 170 groups in and 170 groups out. If each landing needs 5 minutes of pad time, that's 14 pads. Make it 20 to handle variation. Wow, that makes it sound significantly more feasible than I would have guessed.
- Archonical 5mo agoWhere do you put those 20 pads in the city?
- Dylan16807 5mo agoI'm not sure but there's a whole lot of city available. That half of the problem is easy on a technical level.
