Abstract
Based on the analysis of the forces acting on the aircraft running on the runway with two opposite transverse gradients, this paper sets up the motion equation of the aircraft and puts forward the calculating method of side slippage. According to the laws of aircraft running on the runway and the data of transverse distribution of landing point, this paper further studies the minimum requirement for the width of the runway. The results indicate that the width of a runway for type A aircraft needs to be at least 50m generally. Under special conditions, the width should not be less than 25m. 3 figs, 6 refs.
