Taxiway Width Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Taxiway Width = Maximum Outer Main Gear Wheel Span+2*Clearance Distance
T_Width = T_M+2*C
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

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.
Clearance Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Clearance Distance is the gap or space between two surfaces adjacent to each other.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum Outer Main Gear Wheel Span: 15.2 Meter --> 15.2 Meter No Conversion Required
Clearance Distance: 15.1 Meter --> 15.1 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

T_Width = T_M+2*C --> 15.2+2*15.1

Evaluating ... ...

T_Width = 45.4

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

45.4 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

45.4 Meter <-- Taxiway Width

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

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

Maximum Outer Main Gear Wheel Span given Taxiway Width

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

Taxiway Width

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

Separation Distance between Runway and Parallel Taxiway

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

Taxiway Width Formula

LaTeX Go

Taxiway Width = Maximum Outer Main Gear Wheel Span+2*Clearance Distance
T_Width = T_M+2*C

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.
