Airport engineers design and construct airports. They majorly consider the influences and demands of aircraft in their design of airport facilities. These engineers must use the investigation of largest wind direction to design runway orientation, safety areas and to determine the size of the runway border, different wing tip to wing clearances for all gates and must designate the clear zones in the entire port. In this literature a detailed view of airport layout planning is studied and also a simple designed airport layout for ports near water bodies is presented.

The rate of manufacture has reached the level of personal computers at present. Earlier military drones that were manufactured by aerospace agencies costed millions but now they are very much cheaper in today's market. We are that point where these drones are used by normal people and not only roboticists. We have reached the stage where even the common public could aspire to have a drone and think about what they could do with it. The future scenario according to today's proposals would surpass the prediction today by a fair distance though. Keywords— include at least 5 keywords or phrases
