Airport Research Papers

When we first landed in New Jersey, we had to wait because we had to wait for the other people going to Latvia to arrive in Jersey so that way we all were on the same plane. When everyone showed up, the girls seemed to bunch together and the guys seemed to bunch together. And myself, I was sitting all alone, thinking that I had made the biggest mistake going because I didn’t think that I would get along with anyone. “I wondered how Rebecca and I would get along.”(Gutradt 9). No one would talk to me and I wanted to talk to them but I felt alone and uncomfortable, even though I had my cousin and grandparents, my cousin found people to talk to, so I was alone even more. When we got on the plane, I got to sit next to my cousin which was awesome because I didn’t want to be next to someone who I didn’t know and didn’t talk to at the airport, the plane ride was about Twenty-two hours, which let me say was so exhausting. Being on the plane for that long is fun, but it gets very boring after a while because you’re not doing anything but sitting there and looking out of the window or listening to music, which if you don’t have enough, you will run out and listen to the same things over and over

In the summer of 2016, I traveled to Orlando, Florida. The trip began with a short, 75-minute flight from Laredo, Texas to Dallas, Texas. When I arrived to the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport there was only five minutes before my next flight left. I raced to catch the connecting flight to reach my final destination. As I ran through the hallways nearly out of breath, I squeezed

It was cool summer morning. Moisture in the air, from last nights rain, the sun hadn't even hadn't even gotten the chance to show itself yet. It was four in the morning and we were leaving our house to go to Denver International Airport and flying to Washington D.C. We arrived at D.I.A, at approximately four fifty-five in the morning. Groggily my brother and I stepped out of the car. My dad and I carried the bags to the luggage check. One was a Bronco orange with a gray zipper lining and a pull out handle for wheeling. The second bag was a forest green with a black zipper. Our flight was scheduled for six in the morning so we took are time getting through security and getting a McDonalds from inside the airport. We got to our terminal and weighted for an hour. Then at about five forty-five this lady, probably in her mid thirties came over and told us that the plane had gotten in late from Houston and would be a half an our late. Normally this wouldn't be a problem but since we were taking a flight to

Looking out the fogged up window, I drink a cup of coffee as I wait for my flight at 4:00am. I sipped slowly, my eyes still groggy after only sleeping three hours that night. This trip was the first time I’ve ever flown and in all honesty, I wasn't looking forward to fly and on top of that wait in line and get through security. Turns out I love airports, although on the down side, I hate the actual airplane. Who wants to be stuck inside a bumpy metal box that could fall out of the sky at any second? For some reason the atmosphere of airports make me happy I don’t know whether it's traveling to a new place or just waiting to board the flight and having coffee early in the morning. This might be a strange thing to like but then I realised it was such a small and insignificant thing to be excited about. I learned to appreciate the small things.

“We are going to be spending christmas in the Chicago Airport!” my mom says. People's bags were squealing on the moist ground of the walkway, as we are getting off the plane. When we got off the plane, are connecting flight had already left. So me and my family all begin to run down to the help desk, and you hear as our footsteps echo down the long walkways. We hear a bell noise and the tram doors open, we all get in and the doors slowly close and then a thump of the old doors shuting, we hold on to the metal handrails and feel the germs just crawling up our hands. Then it set into all of us that we are going to be spending christmas day in the airport.

On the morning of September 11th 2001 the United States was attacked by a series of coordinated terrorist attacks and, as a result, thousands of people died that day. After that event took place, tens of thousands of people came together to form a new agency called the Transportation Security Administration, or TSA. Being passed on November 19th 2001, the TSA began taking charge of the aviation security programs that were run by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), by training, hiring, and deploying security forces to all of the commercial airports within 12 months and providing 100 percent screening to all luggage in search for any explosives by December 31, 2002.

The very first motorized aircraft, made by the Wright brothers and named "Flyer I," was a brilliant vehicle and was the dawn of airplane travel. Since its final flight in 1903, there have been many different versions of the airplane (which evolved faster than any other mode of travel, which is due to warfare, as WWI came quickly after its development), all of them for advanced (and safer) than the Flyer I, however, none of those come first so the Wright brother's plane wins. It contained an engine that was the first of its time, a wing design that was efficient and effective, and an interesting control system. The Flyer I was not without faults, though. In fact, it had many. On the other hand, it had many successes over its flight.

The ride to the airport seemed endless. The bus had to travel the length of the country to reach Uruguay’s international airport. Those six hours were my chance to think about my past and begin charting the future. As we sped through the countryside and passed half a dozen cities, I recalled all the times I had been in the same seat, looking at the same scenery, yet it felt as if I was remembering a different person. That girl that used to daydream about all the things she would do during the summer vacation was replaced by a young adult who was nervously awaiting her future.

Airport screening is vitally important in preventing another terrorist attack like what happened at The World Trade Center. The people that travel need to be searched for weapons or explosives. An attack that occurs in the air will result to a devastating disaster. It may seem a bit invasive and inconvenient, but airlines are all about safety and security. As we all know, airborne terrorism could lead to war as well. In addition, airport screening is an effective deterrent. The United States has yet to witness another airborne attack since September 11th 2001. Most importantly, airport screening is to stop drug trafficking through the air. The goal is to not to embarrass, humiliate or single people out. All in all, clearing any type of threat

Leaving from Norfolk, we piled all our things onto a bus and headed for the Omaha airport. It was ridiculously early in the morning, but we were all excited about our trip. Normally, when we get on a bus to go somewhere, we always go right back to sleep, but it was different this time. We were all wide awake. Two hours later, we arrived at the airport. Each one of us was anxious as ever to get on the plane and land in Florida, but we still had to go through security and wait for our flight. It was not too long before they started boarding our plane. We were one step closer, officially on our way.

I knew how fortunate I was to be able to be in such an exotic place but in the back of my mind I was thinking to myself, “I just wanted to be back at home”, I didn’t want to be traveling. Not because I was scared of planes, or I was scared of getting lost, but I was scared that something exciting was happening at home and I wasn’t going to be there to experience it.

With the sound of my brother and father moving around in a hustle, I waked up from sleep, finding my mom dressing me and putting my socks on. Everything was gone and every surface was cleaned--I could not find even one place that seemed dusty. After about an hour, we caught a taxi and drove off to the airport. All the people in the airport fascinated me, so many people traveling at once. Meanwhile, I hated my first experience in the airplane: the seats were so uncomfortable, my ears really hurtled sometimes, and I was scared because everything seemed to shake. The flight was longer than I thought, but they gave me cards and mini coloring books so I was not really bored. After the long flight, we arrived in Korea, and the restaurants there had a similar taste to my mother’s food. Even though my home country was America, because Korean is my first language and Korean food is what I favor, Korea felt like my home

The airport has two parallel runways in an east-west orientation, as shown on Exhibit 1 Runway 7R-25L is 8,208 feet long by 100 feet wide. A 140-foot-long blast pad is located on the east end; a 154- foot-long blast pad is located on the west end. The Runway 7R threshold is displaced 897 feet. The Runway 25L threshold is displaced 930 feet.
