Taxiway
A taxiway is a path on an
airport connecting
runways with
ramps,
hangars,
terminals and other facilities. They mostly have hard surface such as
asphalt or
concrete, although smaller airports sometimes use
gravel or
grass.Busy airports typically construct high-speed or rapid-exit taxiways in order to allow
aircraft to leave the runway at higher speeds. This allows the aircraft to vacate the runway quicker, permitting another to land in a shorter space of time. For exhaustive information on taxiways please refer to Aeronautical Information Manual published yearly by Federal Aviation Administration.
