Title: Aircraft Characteristics


1
Aircraft Characteristics
  • CE 633

2
Aircraft Characteristics
  • Important to consider when designing an airport
  • Design to accommodate changes/enhancements in
    aircraft specifications

O'Hare International Airport (ORD) in Chicago

3
Characteristics Will Determine
  • Airside
  • Runway length/width
  • Separation between runways, taxiways, taxilanes,
    etc.
  • Pavement design
  • Landside
  • Gates size and number
  • Terminal design
  • Passenger capacity

4
Examples of Characteristics Include
  • Aircraft Dimensions
  • Weight
  • Passenger Capacity
  • Landing Gear Configurations
  • Engine Types
  • Speed
  • Flight Separation
  • Environmental Noise, fuel consumption,
    pollution, etc

Aircraft Categories
  • Category I
  • Weight 12,500 lbs or less
  • Single propeller driven engine
  • All helicopters
  • Category II
  • Weight 12,5000 lbs or less
  • Propeller driven twin-engines
  • Category III
  • All other aircraft

7
Engine Types
  • Piston Engine Propeller driven aircraft with
    high-octane gasoline fed reciprocating engines.
    Mostly small aircraft.
  • Turboprop Propeller driven aircraft with
    turbine engines
  • Turbofan/Jet Do not use propellers for thrust
    but get power directly from a turbine engine.
    Usually fuel be a diesel fuel, Jet-A.

8
Runway Performance
  • Runway performance is different for every
    aircraft
  • Will determine runway length requirements
  • Dependent upon
  • Aircraft Weight
  • Landing gear
  • Fuel capacity (weight)
  • Aircraft performance under certain weather
    conditions

9
Performance Atmospheric Conditions
  • Temperature, air pressure, and wind speed can
    affect how an aircraft will perform
  • Runway length, aircraft noise, energy
    consumption, and flight distances are dependent
    upon the atmospheric conditions
