Endless Runway Design: A New Horizon in the Development of the Aviation Industry

Scientists and researchers are always trying to optimize and develop a variety of transportation modes, including air transportation, by using their creative ideas. In this regard, the design of airports with circular runways (i.e., Endless Runways) has recently received much attention. In these kinds of airports, there is no need to consider the headwind and cross-wind competence in order to locate the airport site. By using circular runways, the capacity and management of air transport could be significantly enhanced. Furthermore, the need for land to build the airport will be considerably reduced. In addition, the possibility of flight and operation for several large aircraft at a specific time interval can provide different advantages at peak traffic demand and critical conditions
