FloatPort

FloatPort is a floating airport utilizing Pneumatic Stabilized Platform (PSP) technology to situate an airport out at sea. Floatport would be considered a very large floating structure (VLFS).

History
The Pneumatic Stabilized Platform (PSP) was originally designed as a means for constructing a new floating airport for San Diego in the Pacific Ocean, at least three miles off the tip of Point Loma. However, this proposed design was rejected in October, 2003 due to the difficulty in accessing such an airport, the difficulty in transporting jet fuel, electricity, water, and gas to the structure, failure to address security concerns such as a bomb blast, inadequate room for high-speed exits and taxiways, and environmental concerns. The project is known as "FloatPort" and was and still is being considered as an alternative option to building "yet another land-locked airport in southern California."
