Endless runway

[Dimus]

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.

Wow, had no idea! thanks!

The runway is banked.

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.
