Changes that have taken place in design of jet transports since they first went into service are examined, particularly with regard to their effect on airports; major factors are runway length, noise, and geometry of taxiways; effect of higher powered engines, improvements in lifting capacity of wing, temperature, and runway gradient on runway length are shown and illustrated with examples; procedure for determining radius of curvature of taxiways is suggested.
