Journal of Aviation/Aerospace Education & Research, 1992 One of the most important characteristics of an airport is the length of its longest runway: that length determines the types of aircraft that can use the airport and provides a margin of safety for users. A runway extension, therefore, would enhance the

Improving Alaskan Aviation Safety with Turf Runways
Journal of Extension, 2012 A leading cause of aviation accidents in Alaska is due to rock damage caused by taking off and landing on gravel runways. This article describes how Extension in Alaska planted a demonstration runway with an environmentally appropriate native grass to suppress rock damage to propellers, engines, control surfaces, and airframes.

The impacts of climate change on Greek airports [PDF]
, 2020 Time series of meteorological parameters at ten Greek airports since 1955 indicated the level of climate change in the Eastern Mediterranean area. Using this data, take-off performance was analysed for the DHC-8-400—a typical short range turboprop ...

Stakeholder Perspectives on Therapeutic and Safe Building Design in Residential Care
Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Residential care is a form of out‐of‐home care that plays a critical role in supporting vulnerable young people in Australia. However, there is an evidence gap regarding the built environment in this context. This research aimed to explore the perspectives of key stakeholders in residential care in Victoria, Australia, regarding design that ...
