If you have the airport built from scratch, you might want to check the FAA site planning and the ability to take all the specifications for the length of the runway, the width, reviews, etc. For these measurements, the linkadequate size, with the following formula:
measured in feet in inches = x conversion factor
Conversion factor, which is 0.024 for the scale of 1:500, 1:400 scale of 0.03, and 0.06 for the scale 1:200. For example, the width of a typical run 150 meters to go to a 1:500 scale:
150 x 0.024 = 3.6 centimeters
If you want to design your own terminal, you can use a variety of materials. For a beginner, you can use balsa or cardboard.
