Aerodromics

/ˌɛəroʊˈdroʊmɪks/ noun

Definition

The science or study of aerodromes, including their design, construction, management, and operations.

Etymology

From 'aerodrome' combined with '-ics' (a suffix indicating a field of study or practice). A technical term for specialized knowledge about airport operations.

Kelly Says

Aerodromics would have been a real technical field when airports were being invented—engineers had to figure out runway lengths, taxiway designs, and ground facilities from scratch, making aerodromics a legitimate specialty in early aviation history.
