What is a STOLport? 🤔 ICAO states that "the STOLport design aeroplane is assumed to [have] a reference field length of 800 m or less". 📏 More about STOLports in the context of AAM at this link: buff.ly/cG63MJM. ✈️ #airports #airtravel #aviation #infrastructure #mobility #transportation

What is an electric #aircraft? 🤔 When it comes to e-#powertrains, there are many different architectures and hybridizations possible! 🔋 This fig. defines six families. 🛩️ And if you need a refresher on definitions and concepts, we got you covered: buff.ly/KqD7SPD. ✈️ #aviation #engineering @trb.org

Nice collection of police patches at the Philly Police Dept.'s Airport Unit HQ. 👮🇺🇸 Many of them are from other airport PDs. ✈️ The display includes a patch from the French DNPAF which has a broad scope with roles that are typically fulfilled by DHS in the US. 🇫🇷 #airports #airtravel #publicsafety

My model GSE inventory isn't as large as my aircraft collection. 🥺 But I do have this TPX-200 towbarless tractor. 🥰 Token of appreciation from TLD back when we were working on TaxiBOT integration. ☺️✈️ #airports #avgeeks #aviation #groundhandling

There is a plethora of emerging #transportation modes and #mobility techs on the horizon... 🤔 Are you looking for an inventory of both emerging and legacy modes & techs? 🔎 We got you covered! 😜 Check ACRP #Research Report 269 and its "wheel of modes": buff.ly/N7MsSUG. ✈️ #airports #aviation @trb.org

Inadequate ground access can undermine #airport capacity & efficiency. This was acknowledged as soon as 1977 by the Senate Cmte on Appropriations. Lear more about airport access with our ACRP Research Report 269: buff.ly/bL6s37R. ✈️ #airports #airtravel #engineering #infrastructure #paxex @trb.org

What's a #multiport? 🤔 It's a facility where different modes of #transportation are fully integrated & interconnected. It's used by pax of different modes with the option to connect with other services. Learn more about multiports: buff.ly/bL6s37R. ✈️ #airports #airtravel #aviation #mobility #paxex

Does your terminal project warrant moving walkways? An APM? Something else? Or nothing else? The newly released ACRP #Research Report 269 consolidates existing guidance and goes farther with a simple, integrated decision-making tool: buff.ly/vZN0D0t. ✈️ #airports #airtravel #aviation #mobility #paxex

What do CAVs mean in terms of driving? Can they all share the same roads with less-automated vehicles? What are their #infrastructure implications? And what about #safety? What's an autonomous vehicle? 🤔 We provide some answers here: buff.ly/PIYJZr6. 🚗🤖 #automatedvehicles #cavs #mobility @trb.org

@trb.org has released our ACRP #Research Report 269: Enhancing #Airport Access with Emerging #Mobility: buff.ly/bL6s37R. The new guidance addresses all modes and techs from CAVs to mass transit to AAM (and even cableways & vessels). ✈️ #airports #airtravel #aviation #infrastructure #transportation

#ReadBooks! 😜📚 The friends of our local public #library were holding a book sale last week. Our shelves are already full. But when you love #books (and libraries) that doesn't matter! 😊 Got a dozen of titles. Just a couple of air & space items this time, though. 🫤 #avgeeks #aviationbookclub

Since the #Dassault VORTEX has been featured in space news recently... Reminder that this isn't the first winged reusable #spacecraft concept from or with involvement of Dassault. Previous studies since perhaps the mid-1970s include (but are not be limited to) Hermès, VEHRA, and VSH. 🚀 #space #stem

Reject these heresies. Kneel before the Matra P17/P18 of the late 1970s – father of the mighty Renault Espace. 😉
