Taxiway
is always a great word to know.
So is callithumpian. Does it mean:
| a children's mummer's parade, as on the Fourth of July, with prizes for the best costumes. |
| a printed punctuation mark (‽), available only in some typefaces, designed to combine the question mark (?) and the exclamation point (!), indicating a mixture of query and interjection, as after a rhetorical question. |
Example sentences
Work includes but is not limited to the construction of an extension to the existing aviation parking ramp and taxiway.
The airport is home to a single runway and the taxiway is dual use, shared with cars, golf carts and pedestrians.
As runway traffic increases, the capacity of the taxiway system may become the limiting operational factor.
