    Round runway airport?

    I'm sorry but this sounds like a horrible idea. I can't believe anyone would take this seriously. For the simplest reason why it won't work, think of the wind. Let's say we have 15kt. from the north. Where do you enter the circle? How do you know where you will take off from? What will...
