Air Traffic Control Design Document

Introduction

In One Sentence

Control traffic around an airport avoiding crashes.

Abstract

Air traffic control (working title) is a mixture of Airport1, 2 and Segregation. Your task is to manage the air traffic around an airport and make sure there are no accidents. Planes need to be guided in altitude, speed and direction using a stylus (mouse drawing?) to draw their path around the airspace. You are laying out a plane's path which will inevitably have to cross another plane's path. The challenge is that you are planning into the future, and have to avoid planes being at the same place at the same time. The planes also have to be guided around the mountains, flocks of birds and bad weather.
