Abstract
The design of Friendship International Airport at Baltimore, Md., embodied many advances in the theory of airfield layout. The airport was considered to consist of two parts, the airfield and the terminal, and each of these parts was designed to function with a maximum of convenience and efficiency.
The factors affecting design and construction of the airfield are outlined and discussed, and a brief description of the construction phase is given.
The design factors influencing the layout and orientation of the terminal are presented, along with their effect on normal operations. Passenger handling is described, and the service facilities in the terminal are outlined in their relation to the traveler and the airline operation and maintenance.
