伦敦是这个世界上最大最繁忙的城市之一，为了高效的运送每年都在增长的航空客运顾客，增加航空运力已经成为这几年不变的主题，而伦敦现有的机场近年已经不能再解决这个问题了。已经有好几个方案出炉，从扩建斯坦福德机场到诺曼•福斯特今年9月公布的“伦敦大不列颠机场”方案。尽管如此，其中一个方案还是越来越清晰的展现出来，那就是在水中的人工浮岛上建设机场，以缓解用地紧张。最近的400亿美元方案将会以泰晤士河上的四航道机场为特色，浮岛将建设在古德温暗沙上，那里是英国境内比较安全的一处水域，通过地铁系统，距离伦敦市中心只有40分钟的路程，将来还会与附近的其他欧洲大城市相连。beckett rankine是承担这座古德温机场工程设计的公司，声明说该计划对环境是相当友好并且可行的，没有家园会因此而拆毁，航班可以在上面24小时运转，而不会影响到附近的居民，而由此可预见的经济增长会带来更多的就业。

being one of the largest and busiest cities in the world， the reality of having to efficiently transfer an increasing number of air-bound travelers per year is becoming an ever-present reality that london's airports are not going to be able to deal with in the near future. several plans have already been considered， from expanding the stansted airport to norman foster's 'london britannia airport' revealed last september. one trend is becoming clear however， the creation of airports on man-made islands floating on a body of water to alleviate precious space on-land. the latest 40 billion dollar proposal will feature a four-runway air hub in the middle of the thames estuary built on the goodwin sands， a safe location on national waters that would be 40 minutes away from london through an underground railway system and will connect to other nearby european cities in the future. beckett rankine， the construction company undertaking the engineering of the 'goodwin airport'， states that the plan is actually quite environmentally friendly and feasible as no homes will be demolished， flights can operate 24-hours around the clock as there are no residential areas nearby， and the expected economic growth will open new job opportunities for the area.
