Is anyone seriously considering this? Here is the website: endlessrunway-project.eu Here a short video with the designer explaining his design: YouTube link Just one criticism: YouTube link Full disclosure: I absolutely hate flying and have successfully avoided it for over a decade. |

My main reason for not flying would be because of the airlines and their disgraceful attitude towards customers. link |

Hey,what's the problem? He was just being "re-accomodated". Didn't he see the ad before he booked? youtu.be/4muxxItbGvo |

The YouTube criticism has some points to be examined, but I think his explanations and graphics are oversimplifications being applied without the benefit of whatever engineering has been done. I fly with some regularity for work, not out of choice. I don't know if this would be better or not. I do know that I've been in some heavy cross wind landings where I wasn't sure the wheels would hit the ground before the wing. |

Why the cognitive dissonance? Nine out of ten scientists agree that airplanes are the safest way to fly. :) Dan |

So you have to drive across the runway to get to the terminal. Yeah, that's not going to cause any sort of problem at all. |

That's why there's an access tunnel… |

The idea of a circular runway was tried before…and failed. This guy is out of his mind to think it'll work for heavy lifters (A380s, 747s, 777s, etc). |

To be fair to united the guy left under protest then snuck back onto the plane and has anger management issues |

Lol. Jokes don't require facts. Oh, I forgot, jokes confuse you. Jokes don't confuse me. But humor seems to escape you…. |

The airport design does make a lot of sense. After all the airlines are well known for giving people the run around. |

So there I go thinking that this would be about that incident on an United Aircraft. |
