Directional Requirements for Airport Runways
The layout of airport runways involves many problems that can be Solved only by a thorough analysis of requirements at each specific location. The important factor of runway orientation can be influenced by the type of landing gear used on the airplanes. The effect of this factor and also the effect of cross wind are evaluated and discussed.
Attainment of maximum utilization of an airport is to a great extent dependent on the selection of a suitable layout. The variation of utilization factor with cross-wind velocity and landing gear characteristics is tabulated.
Suggestions are made concerning runway organization and the ability of an airport to meet the imposed traffic requirements.
