TECHNICAL, ECONOMIC AND OPERATIONAL ASPECTS OF AN FAA ENGINEERING STUDY AND FEASIBILITY DETERMINATION FOR A GROUND-BASED WARM FOG DISPERSAL SYSTEM

This paper describes a study conducted by the FAA to determine the feasibility of and prepare a conceptual design for a ground-based warm fog dispersal system. The paper describes the study's four-step approach: first, determination of operational requirements for a ground-based fog dispersal system; second, an analysis of known fog dispersal techniques for possible application to system design; third, development of a conceptual/preliminary design for a cost-effective fog dispersal system at a selected airport; and fourth, determination of cost estimates to install and operate a fog dispersal system using the selected technique at the selected airport.
