NUMERICALS ON
TAXIWAY

TYPES OF PROBLEM
1.Determine the turning radius
2.Design of exit taxiway

Turning radius

1. A taxiway is to be designed for operating boeing 707 which has the following characteristics.Determine the turning radius of
taxiway
GIVEN:wheel base - 17.70m
tread of main loading gear 6.62m
turning speed - 40kmph
coeff of friction 0.13

Design of exit taxiway

Taxiways located at various points
along the runway

2. Design an exit taxiway joining a

runway
and a parellel main
taxiway.The total angle of turn in
30D and the turn off speed is
80kmph.draw neat sketch and
show all the design elements

-A compound curve is necessary to

minimise the tire wear on the nose
gear
-compound curve of 2 radius R1
(the entarance curve) R2 (the
central curve) should be provided
- it is preferred as it is relatively
easy to establish on the ground

Stopping sight distance and length

of taxiway
Sufficient distance provided to
comfortably decelerate an aircraft
after it leaves the runway
Average decelaration rate of 1m/s^2
is assumed
This distance should be measured
from the edge of runway pavement
along the exit taxiway
