33. A Helicopter, Ahoy!
Many luxury liners today include a helipad – a feature that was certainly not on the original Titanic. However, the Titanic II may get this special upgrade on the aft deck, which means it would not be as visible to the public.
Helipads are usually used on a ship for harbor operations or medical emergencies, though in evacuation cases, helipads are unnecessary because trained individuals can climb up or down while the helicopter is stationary. Maritime helicopters also tend to be larger than usual ones, which complicates the question of where to place the helipad without disrupting the rest of the ship’s design.
