By the late 1930s, philosophies of comprehensive design for airports treating the buildings andrunways as complete coordinated efficient systems were being promoted in the aeronautics press. In late 1937,Aviation magazine published a three-part article about comprehensive airport planning by John Walter Wood,who’s “Wood System” basic principles were patented in the U.S., Canada, England, and France. Themid-1930s/early 1940s Hillsgrove State Airport/T.F. Green Airport infrastructure reflects many of the WoodSystem requirements, including multiple runways on an X-shaped plan maximizing use of airport land,minimizing taxiing distances from terminal and hangars to runways, and allowing safe takeoff and landing invarious wind conditions; incorporating a network of perimeter taxiways to prevent planes from passing acrossChapter 7 – Final Section 4(f)/Section 6(f) Evaluation 7-5 July 2011\\Mawatr\ev\09228.00\reports\FEIS_Final_July_2011\PVD_CH07_4(f)_JUL_2011.doc
