Airport Engineering: Planning, Design, and Development of 21st Century Airports

Front Cover
John Wiley & Sons, Apr 6, 2011 - Technology & Engineering - 768 pages
First published in 1979, Airport Engineering by Ashford and Wright, has become a classic textbook in the education of airport engineers and transportation planners. Over the past twenty years, construction of new airports in the US has waned as construction abroad boomed. This new edition of Airport Engineering will respond to this shift in the growth of airports globally, with a focus on the role of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), while still providing the best practices and tested fundamentals that have made the book successful for over 30 years.
