These are the Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) reports which, in my view, are of greater interest to airport planners. The ACRP is part of the Transportation Research Board (TRB) and is funded to the tune of US$10-15million a year by the United States Federal Government.
Each report answers a specific problem which the US Airport industry is facing (Applied Research) and takes about 2-3 years of research. Each report costs between $300,000 to $400,000. However, because it is federally funded and their aim is the widest dissemination possible, the pdf files are available for free at their website.
The synthesis reports cost less and take a shorter time to publish because it not new research but a collection of what's out there on a particular airport topic in one report.
