Directional Requirements for Airport Runways

Ralph H. Burke, Harry Otis Wright

Abstract

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.
