runway design

Runway design involves planning and building a flat, durable surface that safely supports aircraft during takeoff and landing. Factors include selecting appropriate length and width to accommodate different aircraft types, ensuring proper orientation based on prevailing winds, and providing smooth, resilient materials like asphalt or concrete. Safety features such as clear markings, lighting, and drainage are also essential to prevent accidents. The design considers environmental conditions, aircraft performance, and future growth to ensure efficiency, safety, and operational reliability for air traffic.
