DESIGN AIRPORTS FOR A MAXIMUM CAPACITY

A "SPIRALPORT" IS PROPOSED TO ENSURE MAXIMUM UTILIZATION OF AIRPORT CAPACITIES. THE SPIRALPORT IS LAID OUT SO THAT THERE WILL BE THREE FULL TIME, FULL USE RUNWAYS FOR LANDINGS, AND THREE FOR TAKEOFFS. THE RUNWAYS ARE SET TO CONVERGE IN ORDER THAT THE POINTS OF INTERSECTION OF THE FINAL APPROACH COURSES WILL BE MORE WIDELY SPACED. /IAA/
