Zusammenfassung:A landing zone arrangement is disclosed for aircraft capable of vertical take-off. The arrangement includes a plurality of segments that form a landing zone in an operating state, a storage space for at least partially storing the segments in a stored state, and a base with a rotatable rotor element in order to rotate the segments for transfer between the operating state and the stored state. The landing zone arrangement allows a lighter technical design as the individual segments are removably secured to the rotor element, and a securing unit of the arrangement is designed to fasten the removable segments to the rotor element for transfer into the operating state and to release this fastening for transfer into the stored state. A lifting unit is provided in order to move the removable segments in the direction of the rotor element when transferring into the operating state.
