Heathrow Airport is located in London and is one of the busiest airports in the world. It began as a military airfield in World War I and became a civilian airport after the war. Over time it has expanded, adding new terminals and facilities. In the 2000s, Terminal 1 underwent major refurbishment to upgrade its facilities and accommodate more international passengers. This involved structural repairs, technological upgrades, and ensuring work was done without disrupting airport operations. The new air traffic control tower constructed in the mid-2000s provides air traffic controllers panoramic views of the entire airport from its 87-meter height.

With the world’s attention focused on London, the UK Government wanted assurance that rigorous security arrangements were in place for UK airspace. NATS also had to be prepared for potentially disruptive summer weather, such as thunderstorms.
This was a unique challenge, and one that NATS rose to with characteristic calmness and professionalism. NATS had to be prepared for every eventuality, working with a wide range of stakeholders, on a job of the highest visibility. As a tribute to the way NATS managed the project, it has already been asked to share its experience with the organisers of the Rio Olympics in 2016.

Frankfurt is not only known for its expedite transfer airport but for it’s prestigious intermodal connection, linking air, rail and road transportation. Discussing the brief history and significant events will outline what makes this airport important to Europe. Identifying the ownership structure and administration and management of the airport will give insight how management manages the daily operations of this airport. Knowing the annual statistics of the airport and the major passenger and cargo airlines of who uses this airport will give a calculation of the total traffic and detail what major airlines operates at this airport. Identifying the significant challenges faced by the airport environmental, noise, limited land, ownership, financial issues will bring awareness of how management battle with the daily challenges in their operations. Illustrating how the airport builds relationship with the local community, business, partners, and passengers will bring light of the presence, involvement and professional leadership.
History of Frankfurt Airport
The Early History of Old Frankfurt Past
Frankfurt Airport was founded in 1924, formally known as Südwestdeutsche Luftverkehrs. Frankfurt Airport initially operated at the Rebstock site, which is a recreation park with pond and bathing facility. The Rebstock site was founded in 1300 and named after its patrician Frankfurt owner family and later inherited by the Domherr Wicker Frosch. In 1335, he later donated Rebstock to Katharinenkloster, who was repeatedly threatened by plundering knights from surrounding villages. During 1501, the Pope intervened to protect Rebstock from it’s avaricious neighbors. In 1788, the Rebstock Manor house was developed but destroyed by the avaricious neighbors. Graf Zeppelin landed the first airship “LZ II” on Rebstock on July 31,1909. In 1910 the city of Frankfurt leased the Rebstock to the German Airship Transportation Company (DELAG). Rebstock was the home of the flight pioneers and pilots who would gathered for the first International flying competition “Flyer Week” as part of the “International Airship Exposition”. On March 4, 1912 the DELAG opened the “Airship Harbor Frankfurt” on the Rebstock grounds, using the remodeled Manor house as headquarters. On August 1926, FrankFurt Airport was established on Rebstock grounds and was the second largest airport in Germany, subsequent with Berlin. “Rebstock airport was closed in 1936 after the Rhein-Ma.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
We have compiled the most important slides from each speaker's presentation. This year’s compilation, available for free, captures the key insights and contributions shared during the DfMAy 2024 conference.
2. INRODUCTION
London Heathrow Airport or Heathrow is London's main airport and a major
international airport serving London, England, known as London Airport from
1946. Located, in West London, Heathrow is the busiest airport in the United
Kingdom and the third busiest airport in the world in total passenger traffic,
handling more international passengers than any other airport around the globe.
It is also the busiest airport in Europe by passenger traffic and the third busiest
by traffic movements.
Heathrow Airport is used by over 90 airlines flying to 170 destinations
worldwide. The airport is the primary hub of British Airways
The busiest single destination in passenger numbers is New York, with over
3.8 million passengers between Heathrow and JFK / Newark airports in
2011. The airport has four passenger terminals (Terminals 1, 3, 4 and 5) and a
cargo terminal.
3. LOCATION
Heathrow lies 12 nautical miles (22 km; 14 mi) west of Central London,
The airport holds a Civil Aviation Authority Public Use which allows
flights for public transportation of passengers or for flying instruction.
4.
5. Aviation at the location of what is now Heathrow Airport began during World War I, when the
site was used as a military airfield. By the 1930s the airfield, then known as the Great Western
Aerodrome, was privately owned by Fairey Aviation Company, and was used for aircraft assembly
and testing, although it was also know as the Harmondsworth Aerodrome and the Heath Row
Aerodrome.
In 1943, Heathrow came under the control of the Air Ministry, to be developed as a Royal
Air Force transfer station

8.
9. •In the beginning of the First World War the area that is now London
Heathrow airport was used as a training ground and British airport for the
military
•Around 1930 British aero engineer and aircraft builder Richard fairey paid the
vicar of Harmon’s worth at the time £15,000 for a 150 acre piece of land to
create an airport to build and test different aircrafts
•After world war II was over the British government handed over the base to
the air to becomes London new civil airport,
•as the closing of London Heathrow airport first operational year they estimated
that 63,000 passengers had travel through the airport and the by 1951 it has
been risen to a 796000 passengers. Terminal 1 opened in 1968 and was formally
inaugurated by Queen Elizabeth II in May 1969
10. In 2004 Heathrow airport holding Ltd signed a contact with Star Alliance
Network. Terminal 1 would now facilitate international passengers, with the
influx passenger in and out of Terminal 1there would have to be major
refurbishment to accommodate all these new passengers. Stated by the project
management institute from their project paper
“Terminal 1 had been out of date and badly in need of refurbishment with the
40 year old building not seeing any significant updates since it was built in the
60s. With serious refurbishment going elsewhere at Heathrow airport as well as
the upcoming opening of Terminal 5 and the introduction of international
passengers to Terminal 1.”

18. •Air traffic control (ATC) is a service provided by ground-
based controllers who direct aircraft on the ground and
through controlled airspace.
•Provide advisory services to aircraft in non-controlled
airspace.
•The primary purpose of ATC worldwide is to prevent
collisions, organize the flow of traffic, and provide
information and other support for pilots.
•To prevent collisions, ATC enforces traffic separation rules,
which ensure each aircraft maintains a minimum amount of
empty space around it at all times.
19. HEATHROW AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWER
Air traffic control tower was formerly installed in 1955,
which was designed by Sir Frederick
In April 2005 the new air traffic control tower was topped
out and in March 2005 the control tower was erected to its
full height of 87m.
The cone, which contains the control room, is supported on
top of an 85m-high, 4.6m-diameter triangular steel mast
anchored to the ground, with three pairs of cable stays
The new ATC became operational during the third quarter
of 2006
20. ASSEMBLING OF NEW AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWER
•The commission for a new control tower (or visual control room) at London Heathrow Airport
followed on from design of the new Terminal 5 at Heathrow, and reflects the growth in traffic at
Europe’s busiest airport. The 87m-tall tower incorporates a 24-hour-a-day, seven-days-a-week facility.
•The location at Heathrow’s centre necessitates full 360 ̊ views from the cab.
•To fulfill these requirements, the final design provides what is thought to be the largest cone of vision
of any control tower in the world.
•Also which included reduced angles of vision for individual controllers, larger areas of glass, more solar
gain, and wind drag on the tower also it provided air traffic control services to aircraft arriving and
departing
21. FUNCTIONALITY OF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWER (ATC):
•The location at Heathrow’s centre necessitates full 360 ̊ views from
the cab
•To fulfill these requirements, the final design provides what is
thought to be the largest cone of vision of any control tower in the
world.
•Also which included reduced angles of vision for individual
controllers, larger areas of glass, more solar gain, and wind drag on
the tower also it provided air traffic control services to aircraft
arriving and departing.
22. The cab contains four levels (as shown in
fig), the highest being the visual control
room (VCR), and Accommodating desks
for 13 controllers.
At the base of this wall is a gallery space
used to service the sub-equipment room
containing communications and radar
equipment.
Underneath the sub-equipment level is
the rest and recreation area containing a
rest room, kitchen, toilet, and office.
An external walkway here accesses a
permanent cleaning cradle to service the
entire cab glass wall.
The lowest level accommodates the air-
handling plant.
The mast structure itself contains stairs,
an internal lift, and various risers for IT
purposes. This rises through the middle of
the cab and services every level.
Finally, a three-storey building at the
base of the tower contains the NATS
offices, administration and training
rooms, technical equipment areas, and
main plant rooms
23. CONSTRUCTION STRATEGY
The logistical challenge facing the
project team was to design and
construct the control tower on an
island site surrounded by live
runways in the centre of one of the
world's busiest airports. The
solution was to pre-assemble as
much of the tower away from the
site as possible and then to ensure
that the actual onsite installation
was as quick as possible by
minimizing site welding using pre-
engineered connections. This
construction strategy allowed all
the construction to take place at
low level and the use of high crane
jibs, which would have interfered
with the radar operation in the
airport, was minimized

25. PREFABRICATED MAST SECTION
With mast erection
complete, the project
immediately progressed to
fit-out of the base
building and the
connection of services
between it and the cab.
Once this was complete,
the temporary guy cables
were removed and the
permanent 150mm
diameter locked coil
cables installed from a
crane and tensioned
during a further series of
Night-time operations.
The new tower went ”live” in February 2007 when full
airport operations transferred and the old tower was
closed after 52 years of service. Building a new air-traffic
control tower in the centre of Heathrow’s airside
operations involved unique construction and operational
requirements that largely dictated its architectural and
engineering form (a more detailed description of the
project has been published elsewhere3). This tower
satisfies the air-traffic controllers’ requirements, yet was
constructed with no disruption to the airport’s daily
operations and no accidents.
26.
27. RUNWAYS OF HEATHROW AIRPORT
•In the 1950s, Heathrow had six runways, arranged in three pairs at different angles in the shape
of a hexagram (✡) with the permanent passenger terminal in the middle and the older terminal
along the north edge of the field, and two of its runways would always be within 30° of the wind
direction.
•As the required length for runways has grown, Heathrow now has only two parallel runways
running east–west. These are extended versions of the two east-west runways from the original
hexagram
28. •Heathrow has two parallel east–west runways, plus a cross wind runway along with four
operational terminals on a site that covers 3,000 acres (1,200 ha).
CROSSWIND RUNWAY
•A consultation process for the building of a third runway and a sixth terminal began in
November 2007, and the project was controversially approved on 15 January 2009 by Labor
government ministers. It was subsequently cancelled on 12 May 2010 by the Cameron
Government.
•A third runway at Heathrow is the best solution for linking UK to fast-growing markets The
shortlisted option is a new westerly proposal that delivers less noise Heathrow will now work
with local communities to develop proposals further. But according to SKYNEWS” A third
runway for Heathrow has met with bitter opposition and the publication of the report will
likely trigger a substantial political row”.

31. •Terminal 1 opened in 1968 and was formally inaugurated by Queen Elizabeth
II in May 1969. Before Terminal 5 opened, Terminal 1 was the base for British
Airways' domestic network from Heathrow and for a few of its long haul
routes.
•With an area of 74,601 m2 (803,000 sq ft. )
