PICTURE: Nicholas DeSantis conceives the Skyscraper Airport for City of Tomorrow

skyscraper_airport_1.jpg Nicholas DeSantis, New York commercial artist after a hardwork of five years succeeded in designing a model of 200-story building roofed by an airplane field eight city blocks long and three blocks wide. A lower level of his "aerotrop-olis," offers a port for lighter-than-air craft. Hangars for planes and airships occupy the top fifty floors.

Quote "Commuters living 100 miles or more from the city would fly to work in their private planes. Landing on the roof, they would descend by elevators and moving platforms to an indoor parking space for 250,000 private cars and taxis, whence they would be whisked without delay to their destination."
