Question: Consider the 1-29 runway at Lambert Saint Louis International Airport. The runway has been designed to handle one takeoff every minute.

(a) What is the capacity of the 1-29 runway?
(b) What is the throughput of the 1-29 runway?
(c) On average, how long does a plane spend from the time of its request until the end of its takeoff on this runway?
