Abstract
This study explores the design and implementation of an innovative crosswind runway and taxiway
system within an educational setting, aligning with International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO) standards to bridge theoretical aviation principles with experiential learning. The project
addresses a critical research gap in adapting large-scale aviation infrastructure to a scaled-down
indoor environment, focusing on the University of Management and Technology’s SEN building.
By integrating ICAO guidelines such as runway orientation, material durability, and safety
protocols the initiative simulates real-world aviation conditions using epoxy and polyurethane
coatings, selected for their resilience in high-traffic academic environments. The study underscores
the broader implications of themed learning environments in promoting aviation education,
innovation, and industry-ready graduates. Recommendations include technological augmentation
via IoT sensors, community outreach initiatives, and continuous material longevity monitoring. By
harmonizing aesthetic, functional, and pedagogical objectives, this project advances experiential
learning paradigms and positions academic institutions as pioneers in aviation- inspired
educational innovation.
