I see lots of videos where planes (so their pilots..) struggle while they are landing because of air conditions. so if windy air is problem for plane, why we didn’t built airports to no-wind areas at the first place?
In: Earth Science
There are a few reasons. The first is of course that they need to be near where people want to go.
The second is that even in places where wind can be a problem it isn’t so bad all the time. Most days planes don’t struggle and can even use the wind to their advantage.
Last is that with airports being big stretches of flat, unobstructed land, wind is almost inevitable. So it’s just easier to build planes and train pilots and controllers to be able to deal with the wind.
