Landing on a Circular Runway!!
Ойындар
I thought I should test the theory of landing on a circular runway, so this is how it went. Credit goes to 'Markku Post-Uttula' for creating the runway.
Due to the sheer amount of people asking, this was done in X-Plane 11 (www.x-plane.com)

OK, now try landig with some realism... 3 degree glide, 140 kts, flaps 30/40... flare...
@kidneybone1534

3 degree glide = angle of approach; 140 knts = speed of 140 knots; flaps 30/40 = angle of the flaps, or "wing extension" for more lift in lowe speeds; flare = raising nose right before landing to make sure main gear touches down first. Do you understand now? This person in the video seems to be a complete amateur/hobby pilot, which knows not much about landing procedures.

when you make a simulation about a circular runway with the question whether it works or not.. then you can put a little effort in it and make it not look like the plane crashes in every part of the landing. Just think about it, sure it is possible. Everyone, who knows what airplanes are capable of can tell this. But it's not just about landing the plane there. A circular runway won't work with ILS approaches, heavy air traffic, ATC and so on

I think that's routine when landing at SLLP.
The problem with the circular runway is the changing wind direction and if the runway is in a bank angle. The low side could be a problem. And another problem is the high side of the wing would travel faster then the low side than this will effect the lift of the aircraft on takeoff.
From what I know, this was to reduce the risk of horrible disasters of crosswind landings. In my opinion, the risk would increase tremendously Edit: Wait.... X-Plane is from 1995
So let's change the tires after every landing due to the 220 mph flat spots. Just a really stupid fucking concept.
bullshit, the project expects ils glideslopes and you hit it at 250 knots

If this were a viable concept, you would likely use tunnels to go under the runway. That's already a commonly used method of entering an airport in many locations. I have some pretty strong doubts about the viability of a circular runway. I can see where the concept stems from and why it would be an excellent idea in theory, but I think in practice it would be a flop.

With the same amount of money you could build 3 runways at different headings to take advantage of most common prevailing winds. And take off & and in a straight line. With a constant wind along the full length of the runway, as opposed to varying headwind/crosswind/tailwind components along the circular path. In short, bad idea - but kudos for taking te time to create the scenery and show us the landing in a pretty realistic way. Well done!
Most easy going traditional Airport Designers will just design an Airport with Three Runways, but shorter (1.5 km instead of 3 km); spread 800 meters apart or even closer. Left, Center, Right ≈ Take-Off, Landing, Take-Off (for busy Departures hour) ≈ Landing, Take-Off, Landing (for busy Arrivals hour). With Two Angled Runways to handled places with Extreme Crosswinds. Making a total of 5 Runways.
Supposedly, the idea behind this is so that you can land into the wind regardless of wind direction. Problem is that it looks quite difficult to put the plane down exactly where you want it. Also, since it is essentially one runway, it does little to solve the congestion problem.
That's a complete stupidity, circular runways require much more space and concrete/asphalt, and how about traffic patterns, winds, other aircrafts taking-off and landing simultaneously as they do on normal rwy's. Also it's only possible to have one circular runway, the second one inside/outside is dangerous lol
@jonathantan2469

It's not very scalable either. With a straight runway, you can start off with one or two runways that fits your current & near future capacity. If you need more runways as traffic grows, you can build more parallel runways or crossed runways. With this circular design, you basically have a large circumferential runway that's far in excess of your needs if you just need 2 runways for the current & near future. That results in lots of underused tarmac that has to be maintained anyway... Yeah, you could make the radius smaller but that means steeper bank angles for tighter turns, making take off & landings much harder. Also, since your flight facilities are in the middle, your options for future expansion of airport buildings may be limited.

Banked runways have the rain run off easier. And you never have to worry about running out of runway length, so that's nice. Problem is; you need 20 times more pavement material, because you are paving half of the countryside with runway.

Instead of a circular runway, it would be better to use the inner circle for landing and those cirles outside for terminals, circle railways to terminals, lounges, stores, parking and outside connections. This would make much more sense.
This was a crash, not a landing. The idea of a circular runway is amaizing, and it would provide the perfect landing with the wind always in front, eliminating the crosswinds. But the landing it's the same as the normal landing. You just pick a point of entry on the runway and aproach in straight line to that point. Because of the runway curvature you only need to bank the airplane 3-5 degree, just before touchdown. The slant and the curvature will do the rest, the plane will keep itselft to the middle and follo the curve. Simple, just a little bit of physics.
I was expecting a really professional landing, but then you hit your left wing against the ground (golden rule: wings level before and during landing), you should sidestep (apply left rudder in this case) and keep your wings level. The gear will have to withstand so much friction that most of the Rubber will be on the runway after landing. Why use reverse thrust on an infinitely long runway? Realistically this kind of a runway would not work, ILS and Localizer approaches, as well as VOR approaches would not exist with such a configuration. Only GNSS / GPS / RNAV approaches would be the only to consider, autoland wouldn't work at all. As soon as a bit of fog appears or a few clouds, airport will be completely shut down.

I think the concept was more of a straight in approach at the heading designated while using a kind of cross wind technique at landing to compensate for the bank and curve of the runway instead of trying to spiral downward to the runway.
this is a idea mentioned in 1965 in a USA magazine, that's the last I heard of it. thanks
So now instead of NASCAR we have NASPLANE 😂 and it has it's own track and everything!!!

I'm Mohammed from Egypt and I encourage you to take this bold step
The problem with simulators is that improbable situations can be made to look real. There can be no safe landing when the airspeed over the wings is different. The inner wing will stall first causing the plane to roll when there is no altitude to correct. Now you are going to tell me the flaps on the inboard wing were set more aggressively.
Wow! This is amazing! I never thought of this! But one question: Will the Airbus A380 and the Antonov An-225 make it?

I love how people that have little to no flying experience propose these silly ideas. Think about hoe effective this runway would be in an emergency situation. The entire airport would come to a standstill.

Nobody realizes how this is actually a good idea. No more going in circles in the air, no more waiting for the runway, no more run-offs. These types of runways would be a great items during emergencies, and people saying the amount of money to make this is too high don't know the amount airplanes spend on fuel just to go a circle in the air. This would be a time, money and a people saver in the long run. People just need to accept change, with the growing demands for air travel, we're gonna need for innovation.

I disagree, this idea is not viable. There are far too many cons for this to 'takeoff'. 1. ILS (CATIII conditions) 2. Engine strike on the ground due to sloped runway 3. Increased load on one side of the undercarriage to serve the tilted weight bearing 4. wind factors, a head wind will very quickly become tail wind when landing, especially for pilots who are 'flaring' 5. How would STARS/SIDS work in this scenario, and holding patterns I'm sure there are many other factors, but from running my own experiments, I think this idea is a flop.
If this was done in real life then pilots would never have the problem of running out of runway

The simulated airport seemed to be based on the BBC animation, which is actually inaccurate in some ways. First, the research showed a maximum of 20° angle for Take-off and Landing, while the animation showed something like a 30°~35° angle. Also the curving from 0° to 35° is too steep, more like 2 airplanes wide, while the research is closer to space wasting 3~5 airplanes wide. Next, there are no Runway Markings to Take-off and Land. The Endless Runway project divide the Circle into 18 sections. So imagine the typical 18L/36R and 18R/36L markings, but done in a Circular Runway instead of Two Parallel Runways. 18/36, 20/02, 22/04,…, 30/12, 32/14, and 34/16. As you can see here, the Pilot is a bit confused on which section he should land. When the trick is: "Land at 36R, then make a hard turn left."

Circular runways look like a really good idea for spins
For traditional pilots, blended Hexagon-Circular Hybrid Runways can work better than just Circular Runways. mathworld.wolfram.com/images/eps-gif/CirclesHexagonal_700.gif A 3.5 km across Hexagon can have SIX 2 km long Runway Side. Enough for a 747 to Take-Off, while for Landing or Aborted Take-Off, the aircraft can use the other 2 Km to roll over. In practice, a 747 usually only used half of a 3.5 km Runway. A Boeing 747 Dreamlifter once landed on a 1860 m long Runway (Jabara Airport). The actual Take-off and Landing distances themselves are even shorter, ~ 1 km for 747 and ~700 m for 737. So why a 3.5 km diameter? It can be a 2 km diameter instead. Of course if the Aircraft isn't capable steering after Landing or the Runway isn't capable leading the Aircraft to the other Runway, a Run-over could happen. So a HUGE airport isn't needed at all. You can easily have an Airbus A380 Take-off and Land on a 3 km long runway, or maybe even a 2 km long runway. Long straight runway is just a way for the airport people to make extra money, by monopoly (e.g. no small airport rivals) and getting more fund (e.g. building longer runway for 'bigger airliners').
If this ever gets approved I'm never flying to airports with circular runways.
Wow.... Amazing landscape .like a new small world in sea.
a good buddy of mine.....777/787 CP......was saying "as it is ...straight line has been tough for some....they come up with such crazy idea"?......
Dangerous! When theres a high wind the wind can make the Aircraft turn 360 or the wings will hit the Runway
Now add crazy crosswinds to the simulation.
If circular runways ever *take off* I will be scared of flying for the rest of my life.
Circular runways are the future
Thats really nice!! I read that a company in the Netherlands make maquette of it to take it to the real world! That sounds really great
What happens if the pilot gets it wrong? The plane could run up the slope and over the edge. I think this concept is interesting but it will increase a crew's workload at one of the most critical and labour-intensive phases of flight. What about Go-arounds? Aborting a landing or even doing touch and goes while banked could end up a bit of a mess, in my opinion. What do commercial airline pilots think about this concept?
I first tought this was clickbait, but then... LMAO!
I could see wing strikes being common with this design
I'm pretty sure the wings already scraped before the landing gears even touches the runway
There's 2 minutes I'll never get back.
Consider the emergency situation like landing without landing gear (belly landing).
You made it look easy ;)
Landing was harder than the United flight attendant's fists.
Let´s just say the amount of time spent in a circular pattern before touchdown would have prevented any simultanious landing or takeoff attempts and thus the advertised advantage of a circular rundway in this case would have been zero.
Windsheer landings look like they would be tougher. Same with low visibility.
Great video and very interesting concept
I. Want to see this built before I die and i also wanna take off on one. And land on one too. I'm ADDING THIS TO MY BUCKET LIST
Good sim, very good graphics, But, those god damm engine and landing gear sounds get me everytime.
Tailwind, crosswind, then a headwind
you were going really fast on that landing
Jesus that was a fast landing
I wonder if this is what airports will look like in the future?
In real life it would probably be more convenient to attach a straight runway to a weather vane.
I saw this on the flightsim subreddit a few days ago
that's cool. what's whats fun about flight simulator. you can be serous or just have some fun .. I used to like to set the wind at about 70kts and hover a Cessna and then fly backwards.. it's a game folks . let the guy have his fun and land on a slanted circle.
Now give yourself a moderate crosswind and try it.......
This is great model however I don't think it's going to work unless the aircrafts landing wheels are adjusted
I mean this is great for reducing taxi fuel as I'm assuming you can start anywhere, but how can you have multiple planes taking off and landing here? It's still only one runway.
I think circular runways are the future. Ya never know.
Imagine landing this heavy in one hell of a cross wind..
Your game looks so smooth
Yes it's an entertaining video game-like setting but completely impossible to land with any jet airliner. the people from england who argue this is a plausible design must be sniffing glue.
Eyy the simplest recording program out there shadowplay I use it to and it's great
