Air traffic is expected to increase significantly over the next ten to fifteen years, doubling by some estimates1. A major challenge for supporting this type of growth is the arrival and departure capacity at major airports. There are many initiatives working to improve the arrival capacities at these airports, but very few enable corresponding increases in the departure capacity. The MITRE Corporation’s Center for Advanced Aviation System Development’s (MITRE/CAASD’s) research program is investigating a concept that could increase the departure capacity at fourteen of the thirty-five busiest United States airports.
