US Patent:

Filed:
Jul 30, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/182962
Inventors:

Abstract:
A Safe Runway Aircraft Arrival and Departure System Using Split Runway Design comprising a linear runway divided into separate landing strip and takeoff strip portions. Arriving aircraft land on the designated landing strip portion of the runway, while departing aircraft take off from the designated takeoff strip portion of the runway. The landing and takeoff portions may be separated by a defined buffer zone utilized by aircraft for taxiing to and from a terminal. Existing runways may be readily converted into two designated portions for arriving and departing aircraft, thereby significantly increasing the number of aircraft arrival and departure sequences, reducing the likelihood of aircraft runway incursions, eliminating dangerous intersection takeoffs, and conserving jet fuel.
