CLT’s fourth parallel runway is doing more than taking shape, it’s helping shape the future of aviation. In partnership with @UNCCharlotte and its Aviation and Innovation Research Institute, Charlotte AIR, CLT is launching a first-of-its-kind instrumentation and digital twin program built directly into the new fourth parallel runway currently under construction. Pavement sensors embedded in the runway will provide real-time data on performance, maintenance needs and long-term durability, helping improve daily airport operations while giving the FAA valuable insights for future airfield design across the country. The collaboration also creates hands-on learning opportunities for students and researchers, turning one of CLT’s largest infrastructure projects into a space for innovation, testing and future-focused solutions.
