Many of the Nations Largest Airports use a lot of energy and when there is a black out chaos ensues. Luckily our biggest and busiest airports in the United States have back-up power for safety. If the power goes out on the grid the back-up power comes on within seconds.

If the power goes out on the grid the back-up power comes on within seconds. Unfortunately with all the energy that modern airports use, not all uses can be supported with back up power, obviously runway lights, security and safety comes first. But if we can reduce the power consumption of aviation uses such as runway and taxi lights, we can use that savings for other important uses in the terminals. I propose we make the airport ramps and taxiways out of flexible concrete. Flexible concrete is stronger than normal concrete and will last a lot longer. |
