Planning & design of airports
Planning & Design of Airports by Robert Horonjeff (co-authored with Francis X. McKelvey, William J. Sproule, and Seth B. Young in later editions) serves as a definitive, foundational text on the principles, practices, and engineering methodologies required for modern airport development. The book addresses the complex, multidisciplinary nature of airport planning and design, providing a comprehensive framework for creating safe, efficient, and scalable aviation infrastructure capable of supporting evolving air transport demands. The text covers the entire spectrum of airport engineering and management, starting from high-level master planning, forecasting air traffic demand, and site selection, to detailed physical design. It offers rigorous technical guidance on runway, taxiway, and apron geometry, airport capacity and delay analysis, passenger terminal design, and airfield pavement engineering. Additionally, the book incorporates critical considerations regarding environmental impact, air traffic control integration, noise mitigation, and the regulatory standards set by aviation authorities such as the FAA and ICAO.
