新的丹佛国际机场(DIA)是近年来新建成的唯一的大型国际机场。它占地137平方公里,是北美最大的国际机场。预计在其投入运营的第一年,客运量可达3200万人次,到2020年将增加到1亿人次。原计划丹佛机场于去年10月底开放,后因技术和测试问题一再推迟。 丹佛机场候机楼的设计可谓匠心独运,由34顶凸峰构成的埃尔雷·B·杰普森主候机楼屋顶被镀有特氟隆的半透明玻璃纤维覆盖着,远远望去像一只白色的帆船。表面上看这种屋顶似乎很脆弱,实际上它可承受320公里/小时的风速,并将经受丹佛冬季冰雪和春季阵风对其耐久性的考验。
The new Denver International Airport (DIA) is the only major international airport newly built in recent years. It covers an area of 137 square kilometers, is North America’s largest international airport. It is estimated that in the first year of its operation, the passenger traffic will reach 32 million and will increase to 100 million by 2020. Denver Airport originally planned to open at the end of October last year, after technical and testing problems have been postponed. The design of the Denver airport terminal is very inventive and the roof of the El Rei B. Jepson main terminal, made of 34 peaks, is covered with Teflon-coated translucent fiberglass, Go like a white sailing boat. On the surface, the roof seems fragile. In fact, it can withstand winds of 320 km / h and will withstand the durability of its winter snow and spring gusts in Denver.
