- 2. Airports are essential components of modern air travel. An airport is an area of land that is used or intended to be used for the landing and takeoff of aircraft, and includes its buildings and facilities, if any. Aircraft :- An aircraft is a heavier-than-air flying machine, which includes fixed and rotary wing vehicles: airplanes, helicopters, gliders, ultralights, gyrocopters, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV’s). Airport Engineering
- 4. Components of Airport RUNWAY- A runway is a defined rectangular surface on an airport suitable for the landing or takeoff of aircraft. Runway–Strip provided specifically for landing and take-off. A single airport may have multiple runways. Runways may be man-made (asphalt and/or concrete) or natural surfaces such as ice, turf, dirt, or sand.
- 5. TAXILANE Taxilanes provide access from taxiways to aircraft parking positions and other terminal areas. Taxilanes are usually, but not always, located outside the movement area on an airport. TAXIWAY- A taxiway is a defined path established for the taxiing of aircraft from one part of an airport to another. Taxiway design incorporates low speed and precise taxiing, integrating safety as the basis of design. Taxiways are generally hard surfaces, although some airports may use gravel or grass. Airport guidance signs provide directions and information to taxiing aircraft and airport vehicles. Continued……
- 6. Continued…… Apron–Hard standing area where aircraft are parked. Passengers emplane/deplane here and cargo is loaded/unloaded here. Fuelling and other servicing is also carried out here. This is the paved area in front of terminal building (between landing area and terminal building) for parking of the aircraft, so that the loading unloading of the passengers, baggage can be done. An apron is a surface (usually paved) that is employed for various purposes, including aircraft tie downs, short and long-term parking, fueling, washing, or maintenance.
- 7. Continued…… HANGAR Hangars are buildings used to maintain and store aircraft for security and protection against wind and other adverse weather conditions. Hangars vary in size and shape; box hangars can size larger and multiple aircraft, while T-hangars maximize the number of aircraft per apron area. Corporate hangars may have small offices and other amenities. Standard hangar design includes safety measures such as proper clearances, hazard mitigation (fuel spills, fume accumulation, etc.), and security considerations.
- 8. Continued…… Hangars–A hangar is a closed structure to hold aircraft or space craft in protective storage. Used for–Protection from weather, protection from direct sunlight, maintenance, repair, manufacture, assembly and storage of aircraft on airfields.
- 9. Continued…… TERMINAL BUILDING- The terminal building is where passengers enter and exit the airport facility. The terminal usually contains check-in services, baggage handling, security checkpoints, and gates that convey passengers to board and deplane an aircraft. At small airports, a single terminal building serves all functions of a terminal and concourse, while large airports may have multiple concourses linked by tunnels, walkways, or bridges. Satellite terminals allow aircraft to park around the entire circumference of the building.
