The aim of the proposal is to design a heliport for multi-purpose
operations. Starting from scratch, and taking into consideration the reuired design parameters the dimensioning, definition of elements, as well as the operational aspects will be decided. The working plan is expected to cover the following steps: - State of the art analysis, regulations and standards; analysis of the worldwide standard and regulations, legislation, but also new research trends on the field of heliports design - Reference fleet selection; description of the fleet operating at the heliport - Location: selection of the most suitable place according to the main mission, vehicles, capacity, always considering colateral effects like noise annoyance, emissions, availability of supplies - Design of the air side; design of TLOF, FATO, TWY, Stands, dimensioning and location of those elements. - Design of the equipment; electrical, compressed air, water, fuel supplies, emergency equipment, - Design of the infrastructure and terminal buildings: construction and civil engineering design of building and other facilities - Capacity/demand analysis: capacity calculations - Operational aspects; procedures, emergencies, safety and security - Considerations for New UAM vertiports |

Overview (resum en anglès): | |
The concept of implementing air taxis has been discussed for a long time, both in large cities and between nearby cities. This idea mainly arises due to the long travel times caused by traffic congestion or the lack of good ground transportation connections.
This project aims to study the feasibility and design of a heliport in the Lleida area, as it is a viable option for the present. Additionally, a final chapter discusses the possibility of converting the heliport into a vertiport in the future, an option that has gained significant traction in recent years and continues to be researched due to Urban Air Mobility (UAM). The initial proposal for this heliport focuses on providing an air taxi service that significantly reduces the daily travel time between Lleida and nearby cities, offering a faster and more efficient solution for regional mobility. A feasibility analysis is conducted on various aspects such as the reference aircraft, the most suitable location, the availability of airspace, and the environmental impact on the area. Next, the heliport is designed based on air-side requirements, explaining the necessary technical and operational needs and providing an estimate of the initial investment required. It is also verified that there is sufficient demand and, more importantly, the capacity to satisfy this demand efficiently and safely. Finally, it is ensured that in the hypothetical case that UAM or intercity travel with VTOL/eVTOL becomes a reality in the short to medium term, our heliport would have the capacity to adapt and integrate into this air taxi model, thereby confirming its long-term relevance and sustainability. |
