Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an underground airport system using a deep underground space in the center of the city, and particularly to an aircraft takeoff and landing facility away from the center of the city and an airport terminal facility under the center of the city. Between the two, only the cabin separated from the airplane can be transported through the deep tunnel.

[Prior Art] A conventional airport is a suburban airport in which a takeoff / landing facility and an airport terminal facility are constructed in a remote place far from the city center due to problems such as aviation noise. For this reason, passengers use the access from the city center to the airport, such as roads and rails, to reach the airport in the suburbs, transfer from this airport to a plane and arrive at the airport at the destination, and then again. Roads to the city center,
I was using the access such as railroad.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] With the recent progress of internationalization and informatization, society is changing more and more, and big cities such as Tokyo develop into huge information-starting collection cities, and information flow and human interaction Is becoming more and more important. As can be seen in the current increasing number of air passengers in Japan, the role of air traffic is becoming more important and plays a part in social development.

However, among the big problems of the current airport construction,
Due to site difficulties related to aviation noise in the vicinity of cities, future airport construction sites will become increasingly remote from the city center, and there are still problems with access to heavily congested roads, railways that are difficult to speed up, etc. . In addition, the convenience of shortening the time by using an airplane is also convenient, because the time required for ground transportation will be extended as long as the current suburban airport system follows the ground transportation as an access. Sexuality is hindered and it becomes an obstacle to social development.

The present invention connects an airplane takeoff / landing facility provided in the suburbs with an airport terminal facility provided at a great depth in the city by a deep tunnel so that only the cabin room portion of the aircraft can be separated and transported. The purpose is to eliminate aviation noise in the city center and to enable short-time transportation communication between takeoff and landing facilities in the suburbs and airport terminal facilities in the city center.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention is an underground airport system that achieves the above object, in which an aircraft takeoff / landing facility A is constructed in a suburb where aviation noise does not occur, and an airport terminal facility B is installed in a large city center. It will be constructed underground and the two facilities A and B will be connected to each other via a deep tunnel, and the aircraft will have a cabin where passengers and luggage can be inserted into and removed from the fuselage of the aircraft. It is mounted on a trolley device so that it can be transported at high speed between the takeoff / landing facility A and the airport terminal facility B.

In order to drive the bogie device at high speed, a linear track may be provided at the bottom of the deep tunnel and a linear drive unit may be provided in the bogie device. Further, in order to move the cabin between the airplane and the trolley device, the cabin may be placed on a movable lifting device.

[Operation] In the above underground airport system, after the airplane has landed at the takeoff / landing facility A, the lifting device is moved to below the torso of the airplane,
Separate the cabin from the airplane side and place it on the lifting device. Next, move the lifting device and place it on the trolley device, and if the trolley device is further advanced in the deep tunnel, it will arrive at the airport terminal facility B in the deep underground of the city center and unload passengers and luggage from the cabin there. be able to.

When an airplane takes off, passengers or the like are placed in the cabin on the lifting device at the airport terminal facility B, and the lifting device is advanced to the takeoff / landing facility A side by the trolley device. After arriving at the takeoff / landing facility A, the lifting device moves the cabin below the torso of the airplane, and if the cabin is moved from the lifting device side to the airplane side, the airplane can take off passengers and the like.

As described above, passengers of an airplane can move at high speed between the take-off and landing facility A in the suburbs and the airport terminal facility B in the city center while sitting in the cabin separated from the airplane, causing noise problems in urban areas. There is no.
