Aerospace Safety And Security, Inc [ASAS]

has developed an inventive Safe-Runway  [SR] technology to save considerable jet fuel by reducing taxi distances for takeoff and landing aircraft. Many existing long runways are under used by B-737 and A-320 type airliners. For instance, on JFK 13R or 31L this process will save over 100 gallons of jet fuel for JetBlue.

Delays at airports have led to:

• Auction of landing and takeoff sequences by the government beginning at Newark, N.J.
• Reduction of airline schedules at many major airports, especially at New York's JFK International Airport

This simple solution:

• Reduces the taxiing distances for takeoff and landing aircraft,
• Saves a considerable amount of jet fuel
• Provides additional sequences as would the construction of a new additional runway
• During winter heavy snow operations the 7,000 feet long runway can be cleared in half the time it currently takes to clear the full length of the 14,572 long runway
• Within minutes B-737 & A-320 type airliners can be airborne after deicing
• Heavy B-747 & A-380 airliners will not be delayed by B-737 & A-320 departures  
• Provides greater anti-terror security by avoiding long lines of airliners close to public areas and makes airports 'greener' by reducing CO2 and other contaminants. 
• Reduces the need for the immidiate spending billions of dollars and decades of time to construct new runways. 

Captain Dan Gellert developed these elegant solutions through application of his:

• Aerospace safety training with the USAF, USA, USC, NTSB
• Courses at Harvard and Stanford Graduate Schools of Business 
• FAA training and experience as an Air Traffic Controller
• Experience as FAA licensed pilot-in-command with type ratings on: B-747, L-1011, A-300, B-767, B-757, B-727, DC-9/MD80, L-188/P-3 [Electra], EMB-145 airliners while accumulating over 30,000 flight hours.    

Therefore, this inventive methodology can double takeoff and landing sequences by splitting these long runways safely into two completely independent runways, one for takeoff and one for landing for B-737 and A-320 type airliners, while it can instantly revert to the undivided full length for jumbo heavy jets or for anyother aircraft, when so required.   

This inventive Safe-Runway technology will completely eliminate runway incursions,  solving the most dangerous and deadly unsolved aviation safety problems. Intersection takeoffs are dangerous and cannot be used satisfactorily by airline T-catagory aircraft.

ASAS provides updated plans for timely development of this inventive technology by facilitating the required approval from governmental entities, and also to continue timely representation for integration between airports and user airlines. For the expeditious and safe implementation of these fuel saving and required essential airport runway capacity improvements, we provide onsite guidence with  continous managerial oversight..

Aerospace Safety And Security evaluates all aspects of flight and aerospace operations as an integrated system; therefore, all safety and security factors are evaluated on that basis,  within each specific individual operational arena. ASAS believes in layered security, if one layer fails security is only degraded and not compromised or completely eliminated.
