New Fog Beater Suits Major City Airports Alone
NASA official William A. McGowan reports a heat based fog dispersal system could clear runway fog at busy airports at a cost of 1,000 to 2,000 dollars per hour, with initial equipment of 3 to 6 million dollars. Tests show effectiveness in evaporating fog drops and improving visibility, though high startup costs limit use to large airports. Helicopter downwash and hygroscopic seeding are also being explored to reduce fog.
