Clearance between Outer Main Gear Wheel and Taxiway Edge given Taxiway Width Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Clearance Distance = (Taxiway Width-Maximum Outer Main Gear Wheel Span)/2
C = (T_Width-T_M)/2
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Clearance Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Clearance Distance is the gap or space between two surfaces adjacent to each other.
Taxiway Width - (Measured in Meter) - Taxiway Width is the width of a path for aircraft at an airport connecting runways with aprons, hangars, terminals and other facilities.
Maximum Outer Main Gear Wheel Span - (Measured in Meter) - Maximum Outer Main Gear Wheel Span is the distance between the outside edges of the main gear wheels.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Taxiway Width: 45.1 Meter --> 45.1 Meter No Conversion Required
Maximum Outer Main Gear Wheel Span: 15.2 Meter --> 15.2 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C = (T_Width-T_M)/2 --> (45.1-15.2)/2

Evaluating ... ...

C = 14.95

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

14.95 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

14.95 Meter <-- Clearance Distance

Clearance between Outer Main Gear Wheel and Taxiway Edge given Taxiway Width

Go Clearance Distance = (Taxiway Width-Maximum Outer Main Gear Wheel Span)/2

Maximum Outer Main Gear Wheel Span given Taxiway Width

Go Maximum Outer Main Gear Wheel Span = Taxiway Width-(2*Clearance Distance)

Taxiway Width

Go Taxiway Width = Maximum Outer Main Gear Wheel Span+2*Clearance Distance

Separation Distance between Runway and Parallel Taxiway

Go Separation Distance = 0.5*(Strip Width+Wing Span)

Clearance between Outer Main Gear Wheel and Taxiway Edge given Taxiway Width Formula

Clearance Distance = (Taxiway Width-Maximum Outer Main Gear Wheel Span)/2
C = (T_Width-T_M)/2

What is the function of Taxiway?

The functions of the Taxiway are to: Provide for aircraft to travel to and from runways to other areas of the airport in an expeditious manner. The system of taxiway is a decisive influence on the capacity of the runway system, and thereby also the overall capacity of the aerodrome.
