Ive decided to make a cosmodrome near the equator, including a 5k by 60m runway, and taxiways, all designed to easily accomodare larger vessels like the XR5 and DGEX.

But to design the taxiways and hangars, i need the following values to keep my cosmodrome appropriatley scaled:
Wingspan and length of an XR2
Wingspan and length of an XR5
Wheelbase and maximum turning radius of an XR5/DGEX

Also, is a 5 km runway is plenty for any large craft that we have at the moment?

Thanks
 
Why not make use of the existing hangars? [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3692"]AIA Generic Hangars[/ame]
 
Length, wingspan, and I believe also wheelbase (rear gear track) for all of the XR vessels are all available in Appendix B of the XR Flight Operations Manual.

Not sure about the actual turning radii.
 
The DG hangar is a foot too short, the XR5s rudders hit.the top, i want to fix it

All of the vessels turn like a fat cow (on the ground that is). I use Heilor's nosewheelturn mod to make them much more realistic to handle on the ramps and taxiways.
SO, I don't have a number for you on the turning radius, I just know that this...

is one of those "must have" add-ons.
