Abstract

An apparatus for storing airplanes includes a first airplane parking floor at a first elevation, a second airplane floor at a second elevation, and an elevator. The first airplane parking floor defines a vacant region within a notional circle circumscribing the first airplane parking floor and defining a notional circumcenter. The first floor is rotatable about the circumcenter for selective angular alignment of one of several first airplane parking floor regions or the vacant region with a fixed sector of the circle. The second airplane parking floor is rotatable, at the second elevation, about the circumcenter for selective angular alignment of one of several second airplane parking floor region with the vacant region. When so aligned, the second airplane parking floor region may be vertically translated by the elevator between the second elevation and the vacant region at the first elevation.
