Abstract

The design and construction of such an involved project as a modern airport is not simple. There are no clear criteria against which the airport can be designed; often, it is not known what aircraft will use the airport. Someone, therefore, must do some important crystal-gazing which will settle the pattern of the airport for all time. This is the basic responsibility of aviation authorities and experts in various aspects of the flying profession, but once they have made these basic decisions, they must have the advice of civil engineers before any further advance can be made.
