1) Turning Radius:
A horizontal Curve is to be Provided whenever there is a change in the direction of the Taxiway.
It is necessary to design the curve in such a way that the aircraft can negotiate it without significantly reducing the Speed.
For this purpose the circular curve of Large radius is most Suitable & its radius can be obtained from the Following Formula.
$$ R=\frac{V^{2}}{125 f} $$ where $\quad R=$ radius of curve in $m$ $V=$ speed of aircraft in $\mathrm{km}$ p.h. $f=$ coefficient of friction between the tyre and pavement surface (usually assumed as 0.13). For airports serving large subsonic jet planes, the minimum value of radius of curvature is taken as $120 \mathrm{~m}$, irrespective of the speed. For supersonic jet planes, the minimum radius of $180 \mathrm{~m}$ is recommended.
2)Three Controls Of Aircraft
There are three parts of primary control surfaces
1.Elevator
2.Rudder
3 Ailerons
1.Elevator
• the elevator controls pitch about the lateral Axis.
• The elevator is connected to the control Column in the flight deck by a series of Mechanical linkages.
• After movement of the control column Deflects the trailing edge of the elevator Surface up.
Stabilator
• The stabilator is a one piece horizontal tail Surface that pivots up and down about a Central hinge point.
• When the control column's pulled back it Raises the stabilator trailing edge pulling the Airplane's nose up.
Conard
• The conard design utilizes the concept of two Lifting surfaces.
• The conard functioning as a horizontal Stabilizer located in front of the main wings.
• The conard is an airfoil similar to the Horizontal suface on a conventional after tail And holds the nose up.
2.Rudder
• The rudder controls movement of the aircraft about its vertical axis.
• The rudder is a movable surfaces.
• Moving left or right rudder pedal controls the rudder.
3.Ailerons
• Control Roll About the Longitudinal Axis.
•The Ailerons Are Attached to the Outboard Trailing Edge of Each Wing.
• It Move in the Opposite Direction From Each Other.
