            What about a spiral runway, sort of like a multi-storey car park?

              Some reader questions answered by the man who came up with the idea.

              The engineer who proposed circular runways answers critics in defence of his radical design for airports.

                    The maker probably took it down... out of embarrassment.

                        just had a peep.....and a quick read..


                        I think this is just wrong....for a very personal reason.....but the longer stopping distance required in snow or ice makes it not even a thing......

                        many moons ago before i was 38 or even 28 we landed on a very small runway in europe...cant remember the name of the airport but it was in a mountain area and the plane had to come in and land in a circle........suffice to say i never want to experience the fear or terror again....but this is personal lol.. the weather conditions being bad would take it to another level..

                        the plane might end up fulla shyte..

                          Your last line happened a few years back at Dublin airport with a plane flying back from Andorra. The passengers had picked up a stomach bug in Andorra before the flight and unfortunately a plane doesn't have that many toilets.
