Airport terminal building
A defined multi-storey airport terminal with a 100 m principal frontage and 80,000 m² gross floor area. It is a scale model, not a claimed average or a named airport.
Defined examples — our methodology
The marked defined frontage length is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.
Football pitch
105 × 68 m playing surface. Excludes surrounding space.

Why this measurement?
Why we use 100 m
For comparison, this page uses defined frontage length. This is labelled defined specimen: an explicit comparison model rather than a claim that every example has the same value. The recorded range is 80 m to 130 m.

The marked horizontal span follows the named feature; transparent margins and unmeasured details do not alter it. How calibrated comparisons work →
