The SKYLOUNGE study was charged with determining the economic and technical feasibility of the design, development, and implementation of a combined helicopter and road transportation system between airports and urban centers. The SKYLOUNGE concept concept examined in the study is based on the existing Sikorsky S-64A crane-type helicopter and a mobile lounge (bus) that could be quickly attached to the helicopter (and detached) in the transfer process between helicopter and ground vehicle while the passengers remain seated in the lounge. Many alternative configurations of this concept were examined. The major conclusion resulting from the study is that the SKYLOUNGE concept is technically feasible but economically unattractive in light of the alternative means of solving the problem of transporting people from urban centers to airports.
