Abstract
The recent developments and trends in airport design and construction are common knowledge to the engineer. This paper presents the reasons for these trends and developments. These advances have been ·based on a desire to follow engineering principles which are basically sound and economically wise in planning, surveying, and structural endeavors. There is still another important factor which controls airport engineering and that is the need for providing the necessary aeronautical requirements to insure the safe operation of aircraft in the vicinity of the airport, in turning zones or areas, in the approaches, and on the airport.
