The technical feasibility of a Floating Interim Manhattan STOLport, located in the Hudson River near W. 30th Street, is examined with regard to the suitability of the site for attaining unobstructed airspace protection surfaces, assuring freedom from interference with river navigation, and having minimal impact on the existing surface transportation network. The report presents an engineering anlysis and cost estimate of the floating structure, including facilities required in support of STOLport operations. The site is found to be suitable for a Floating Interim STOLport, and the most feasible floating structure would consist of a flight deck supported on interconnected Liberty Ship hulls. (Author)
