AIRPORT DESIGN (FOR MICROCOMPUTERS)

The Airport Design software calculates runway wind coverage and site specific dimensions based on airport design standards and recommendations. These dimensions are: runway, taxiway, and taxilane widths and clearances; recommended runway lengths, exit taxiway, taxiway intersection, and taxiway curve layout data and analysis, and wing tip clearance analysis; and printing or plotting the taxiway and taxiline analysis results. Instructions on the use of the software are on the software. The software is written in the FORTRAN and C programming languages for implementation on an IBM PC/XT, AT, PS/2 or compatibles using the MS DOS 2.0 or higher operating system. The system will operate with 640K memory.

• Supplemental Notes:
  • One diskette. The software is contained on a 5 1/4 and 3 1/2-inch diskettes, high density (1.2M and 1.44M), compatible with the IBM microcomputer. The discettes are in the ASCII format.
