Strategic and operational aspects of the relationship between aircraft and airports are examined. Strategically, historic difficulties in achieving compatibility are discussed and careful attention to controlling the use of ever larger aircraft is suggested. Further potential in vertical and short takeoff and landing aircraft, for solving the long term pressures of system capacity, total system cost, noise and safety, is proposed. Operationally, runway safety, accommodating larger aircraft and apron space efficiency, are highlighted. Minimization of problems of both airside geometry and apron space efficiency are proposed by development of aircraft with high ratios of payload to span.
