Princeton Airport (New Jersey)
- Princeton Airport (New Jersey)
is a public-use airport located in Montgomery Township, Somerset County, New Jersey, United States, three miles (5 km) north of the central business district of Princeton and just west of Rocky Hill. The airport is privately owned by Princeton Aero Corp.
History
The airport was established by Richard A. Newhouse (original spelling "Neuhaus"). Among his other aviation-related projects, in 1911 he built a plane of his own design, featuring separate floating ailerons — a major innovation, as the planes of that time used wing warping for roll control.[cite web]
