• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

OK, we need a scenery made for this to test the concept in FSX/P3D:

The runway will need to be sloped inwards for the planes to stay on track. Who will rise to the challenge?

Its already been done and available at Simviation file ENDLESS RUNWAY CONCEPT V2 In FSX SCENERY by Soarfly if you want to give it a try.
 
All I can say is - pity the poor buggers who would use it with a howling wind of about 50kts your headwind, turns into a crosswind turns into a tailwind. Not to mention the stresses on the undercarriage doing a permanent ground loop at take off speeds.
 
That concept is a big bag of bollocks. That thing would be a safety hazard by all means.
If you really want an endlessly flexible runway, pave a circle with a 10000 ft diameter with an EMALS ring around it and figure out how to implement moving ILS equipment and flexible lighting to allow safe landings from all directions.
