An urban air mobility building-top skyport for landing, loading and unloading, servicing, and parking short field takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft, which includes a rotatable flight deck having at least one runway on which aircraft takeoff and land; a rotatable lower deck immediately below the flight deck and including an aircraft taxiway surrounding an enclosed central terminal with an elevator bank; and first and second aircraft ramps connecting the flight deck and the lower deck on which to taxi aircraft between the flight deck and the lower deck. A battery-swap station robotically replaces depleted batteries with fully charged batteries without the need for aircraft to cease moving at slow taxi speeds at any point during the process.
